Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content, with a single 25g serving containing 14.4g of sugar, which is over half the recommended daily limit for added sugar. The primary ingredients are sugar and papaya pulp, with the advertised 'exotic' fruits (Blueberry, Açaí) present in negligible amounts (0.2% each). The presence of multiple synthetic colors and artificial flavors further reduces its health score.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Balanced Yogurt Treat
Chop 2-3 pieces of the chocolate. Sprinkle them over a bowl of plain Greek yogurt. Add a handful of fresh berries and a tablespoon of chia seeds for a more balanced snack.
Health Benefits
This adds protein, fiber, and healthy fats to buffer the sugar impact and increase satiety.
Portion-Controlled Trail Mix
Create a portion-controlled trail mix. Combine 4-5 pieces of the chocolate with a handful of unsalted almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. Mix well and store in a small container.
Health Benefits
Dilutes the high-sugar chocolate with nutrient-dense nuts and seeds, providing healthy fats and protein.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple synthetic food colors (INS 122, 133, 132) and artificial flavors which are approved by FSSAI but are generally discouraged for regular consumption, especially for children. The overall additive load is high, including stabilisers (440, 414, 331(iii), 1400), an acidulant (296), an emulsifier (322(i)), and a glazing agent (904). While legally permissible, consumers seeking natural products should be cautious.

Marketing Claims
The marketing is questionable and potentially misleading. The packaging prominently features 'Blueberry & Açaí', leading consumers to believe these are significant ingredients. However, the ingredient list reveals they constitute only 0.2% each, while the main fruit component is papaya (9.7%). The flavor is primarily derived from artificial substances, not the exotic fruits themselves. This creates a misleading impression of the product's composition and health value.
