Marketing Claims
The primary claim '49% DARK' is factually supported by the ingredient list (32.4% cocoa solids + 17.4% cocoa butter). However, the term 'dark chocolate' can be perceived as healthy by consumers, while the product's high sugar and saturated fat content make it an indulgence item. The marketing is not technically misleading but could be more transparent about its nutritional profile.
