Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Awarded a rating of 1/5 green leaves, the Kit Kats 2 Finger Dark Chocolate falls short of meeting the criteria for cleaner food options on our website. This product is not organic, and it contains GMO ingredients, which significantly impacts its rating. The presence of added sugars further reduces its score, aligning with our guidelines that prioritize healthful alternatives to highly sweetened foods.

The ingredients list reveals several components that raise concerns. It includes sugar, which is a common but undesirable ingredient in cleaner food options due to its health implications when consumed in excess. The product also contains palm oil, an ingredient often criticized for its environmental impact and potential health concerns. The use of natural flavors and soya lecithin, categorized as potentially harmful additives, also contributes to the low rating. These additives, while common in processed foods, are flagged on our website for their potential negative effects and lack of nutritional value.

Moreover, the product is not fortified with any beneficial nutrients that might offset the presence of less desirable ingredients. The inclusion of wheat flour does provide some basic nutrients such as calcium, iron, thiamin, and niacin; however, this is not enough to elevate the product’s overall health profile.

The product’s low score reflects its alignment with many of the processed food products available on the market that do not support a cleaner, healthier diet. It is made with ingredients that do not meet the standards for consumers seeking food items with minimal processing and additives. The 1/5 green leaf rating serves as a guide for those aiming to select foods that contribute to a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable food system. Consumers are advised to consider alternative options that score higher on our green leaf rating scale, which indicates a cleaner and potentially healthier choice.
