How we got 1.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 7 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This chocolate candy is a highly processed food with a significant sugar content, which is a primary concern for general health and especially for children. It also contains disodium diphosphate, a phosphate additive that can be problematic for individuals with kidney issues. While it includes some beneficial ingredients like hazelnuts and cocoa, these are present alongside a high sugar load and undisclosed raising agents, limiting its overall nutritional value. Individuals with peanut, wheat, soy, milk, or tree nut allergies must avoid this product due to the presence of these major allergens.

Peanuts
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and severe food allergies, capable of causing anaphylaxis — a potentially fatal allergic reaction. Even trace amounts (cross-contamination) can trigger reactions. Peanut allergy is usually lifelong and requires strict avoidance. Always carry an epinephrine auto-injector if allergic.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI; FDA; Allergy & Asthma Network
Peanuts: regulation, sources and other products →Fruit Juice Concentrate
Fruit-juice concentrate is fruit juice with the water removed, leaving concentrated sugars (largely fructose and glucose). Nutritionally it behaves as a free sugar and is frequently used to sweeten products that market themselves as having "no added sugar". The WHO recommends no free sugars for infants and young children, so it is a particular concern in foods aimed at babies and toddlers.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO Guideline: Sugars intake (2015); WHO Ending inappropriate promotion of foods for infants
Fruit Juice Concentrate: regulation, sources and other products →Wheat Flour
Wheat and wheat-derived ingredients contain gluten, which triggers an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease, causing intestinal damage. People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy must also avoid this ingredient. Labelled as a major allergen by FSSAI.

Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The label states 'with COCOA from our SUSTAINABILITY program', but there is no information on the label to verify the details or existence of this sustainability program.
The label states 'CHOCOLATE REFINED WITH FINE FLAVOR COCOA FROM ECUADOR', but there is no information on the label to verify the origin of the cocoa or the refining process.
The ingredient list does not contain any added flavorings or colors.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.
The label declares each of these as a blend and then lists what is in it. The components appear in the groups above on their own merits, so the blend itself is shown here rather than counted a second time.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
