Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Intense Dark Sea Salt Almond Dark Chocolate earns the lowest score on our scale for cleaner food options. This product is not organic, a criterion that significantly impacts its rating. Additionally, it fails to use non-GMO ingredients, further detracting from its score.
The presence of added sugars, specifically cane sugar, contributes to the low rating due to their harmful health implications. Soy lecithin, an additive found in this chocolate, is another factor that lowers the score, as it is considered potentially harmful.
The ingredients list includes cane sugar, unsweetened chocolate, almonds, cocoa butter, milk fat, sea salt, soy lecithin, and vanilla extract. The use of cane sugar, both as an added sugar and a more harmful added sugar, is a critical factor in the assessment. The lack of organic certification and the presence of non-GMO ingredients are also crucial considerations.
The product’s overall score reflects our rigorous standards for promoting cleaner eating. It does not meet the criteria for a healthy option within the crowded market of food products. The Ghirardelli Chocolate Intense Dark Sea Salt Almond Dark Chocolate, with its score of 1/5 green leaves, is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food choices.
