Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Milky Way Midnight Dark Chocolate falls significantly short of meeting the criteria for cleaner food options on our website. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which immediately detracts from its potential score.
The ingredient list reveals several areas of concern. The presence of added sugars, with sugar itself and corn syrup both contributing negatively to the product’s health profile, is a major issue. Corn syrup, in particular, is a refined sweetener that we consider more harmful due to its processing and potential health impacts.
Further scrutiny of the ingredients uncovers the use of palm oil, which is not only associated with environmental concerns but also considered a less healthy oil option due to its saturated fat content. The product also includes various flavor additives, both natural and artificial, that raise questions about their potential health effects. Soy lecithin, an emulsifier commonly found in processed foods, is another additive that we view unfavorably.
Moreover, the product contains artificial flavors, which we classify as known harmful additives. These substances are often synthetic and may have adverse health implications with long-term consumption.
The Milky Way Midnight Dark Chocolate is evaluated as a product that consumers seeking cleaner food options should avoid. Our rigorous assessment criteria prioritize organic, non-GMO ingredients, minimal added sugars, and the absence of potentially harmful oils and additives. This product does not align with those priorities, and its composition reflects a departure from the cleaner, healthier food alternatives we endorse.
To those seeking a healthier lifestyle and diet, we recommend exploring other chocolate products that align better with our green leaf rating system, focusing on those that offer organic ingredients, fewer additives, and are free from GMOs.
