Nutritional Summary
The product receives a very poor rating due to its extremely high content of added sugar and saturated fat per serving. A single 30g bar contains 13.23g of added sugar, which is over 26% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. Similarly, the 6.9g of saturated fat accounts for over 31% of the daily limit. The primary ingredient is sugar, not cocoa, making it a high-calorie, low-nutrient confectionery item rather than a healthy dark chocolate option.

Marketing Claims
The claim '50% Dark' could be perceived as questionable. While technically containing 51% cocoa ingredients (29% butter + 22% solids), the primary ingredient is sugar. Consumers often associate 'dark chocolate' with health benefits and lower sugar, which is not the case here. It is more of a sugary confectionery than a health-focused dark chocolate. The 'Cocoa Life' claim refers to a corporate sustainability program.
