Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Richmond Valley Cocoa scores 60/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Richmond Valley Cocoa lists 5 ingredients, starting with Quality Cocoa, Processed With Alkali, Salt, Spice and Approved Flavours. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 60/100 Richmond Valley Cocoa lands mid-scale — below the typical score in drink mixes & powders, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in drink mixes & powders is Jade Leaf Organic Japanese Matcha Latte Mix at 95/100.
