This chocolate candy offers a rich cocoa and date flavor profile with a good amount of fiber from the date powder and orange peel. While it avoids added sugars, the high cocoa content contributes to a significant saturated fat load. It's a good option for those seeking a less processed sweet treat, but individuals monitoring their saturated fat intake should consume it in moderation.

The term 'clean label' is a marketing designation and its criteria are not defined or verifiable from the provided label information.
The 'Bean to Bar' claim refers to a manufacturing process that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The ingredient list contains cocoa solids, cocoa butter, date powder, and orange peel, with no other ingredients listed.
The ingredient list does not contain any artificial sweeteners.

Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
