Product Insights
Waitrose Belgian dark chocolate is a Fairtrade‑certified dark chocolate bar from Belgium that combines cocoa mass, sugar, raisins, almonds, cocoa butter and sunflower‑lecithin emulsifier. Belonging to the Sugary snacks and Chocolate products groups, it delivers 512 kcal per 100 g with 31.2 g of fat (15.9 g saturated), 43.1 g of sugars, 9.2 g of fiber and a low salt level of 0.02 g, earning a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA 4 classification, reflecting both its high energy density and its ultra‑processed nature. The bar contains the additive E322 (sunflower lecithin), almonds as a nut allergen, and benefits from a B‑grade Eco‑Score for its fair‑trade sourcing, but its high sugar and saturated‑fat content limit its health appeal.
