Green & Black’s

Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Green & Black’s Thank You Milk Bar is a product that our evaluation process has determined falls short in terms of offering a cleaner food option. The bar is a milk chocolate treat, boasting a combination of organic cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and vanilla extract. Despite these organic ingredients, the product does not meet our standards for a high-scoring food item.

The chocolate bar is not fully organic, which is a primary consideration in our scoring system. The presence of non-organic ingredients leads us to dock points, as we prioritize entirely organic products for consumers seeking the cleanest food choices. Furthermore, the Green & Black’s Thank You Milk Bar does not use exclusively non-GMO ingredients, which is another key factor in our assessment criteria.

Another significant concern is the inclusion of added sugars, which are prevalent in many processed foods and contribute to their lower scores on our scale. Specifically, cane sugar, listed among the ingredients, results in a further reduction of points. This type of sugar is considered by our standards to be a more harmful form of added sugar, thus impacting the product’s score more severely.

Additionally, the product contains soya lecithin, an emulsifier that we identify as a potentially harmful additive. The presence of such additives is something we caution against, as they do not align with the cleaner food options we strive to recommend.

Based on these factors, the Green & Black’s Thank You Milk Bar receives our lowest possible rating. It is our stance that consumers looking for the healthiest and cleanest food choices should consider alternatives that better align with our criteria of being fully organic, free from GMOs, and without added or harmful sugars and additives.
