Green & Black’s

Green & Black’s Organic Dark 70% earns a 3/5 green leaves rating on our scale. This chocolate bar represents a middle-ground option for those seeking cleaner food choices. It boasts organic certification and non-GMO ingredients, ensuring that consumers who prioritize these factors can enjoy this product with peace of mind.

The chocolate is made with organic cocoa mass, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, and organic vanilla extract. These components contribute to the product’s organic status and align with the preferences of health-conscious individuals. However, the inclusion of added sugars, particularly cane sugar, results in a deduction from its overall score. While the product does not contain artificial additives or preservatives, the presence of added sugars is a point of consideration for those monitoring their sugar intake.

The packaging indicates potential traces of milk and nuts, which is vital information for consumers with allergies or dietary restrictions. The company also notes that while the key ingredients are Fairtrade certified, they may be mixed with non-certified counterparts on a mass balance basis. This detail is important for customers who are strict about the sourcing and ethical implications of their food choices.

Green & Black’s Organic Dark 70% stands as an average choice within our scoring system. It offers the benefits of organic and non-GMO ingredients but is marked down for its sugar content. This product caters to those who are looking for an organic chocolate option but also serves as a reminder to be mindful of sugar consumption. The green leaves rating reflects a balance between the product’s adherence to organic principles and the need to limit added sugars in one’s diet.
