Breakdown

Waitrose Dark chocolate scores 91/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

Waitrose Dark chocolate lists 3 ingredients, starting with Cocoa Mass, Cocoa Butter and Cane Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 91/100 Waitrose Dark chocolate sits in our top band, among the better chocolate we have scored. A higher-scoring option in chocolate is Hu Organic Hazelnut Butter + Hazelnut Crunch Milk Chocolate at 100/100.
