Why does Original Dark Chocolate 72% Cocoa receive a Nutri-Score of E?

The E rating is driven by its high saturated-fat (26.3 g/100 g) and high sugar content (26.4 g/100 g) combined with the absence of positive points from fiber, fruit‑vegetable‑legume content or protein, which together push the overall score into the lowest category.

How might the sugar and saturated-fat levels in this chocolate affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

The 26.4 g of sugars can significantly raise blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight glycemic control, while the 26.3 g of saturated fat may contribute to elevated LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, so consumption should be limited for individuals managing diabetes or hypertension.

Is this chocolate compatible with vegan, keto or gluten-free diets?

All listed ingredients, cocoa paste, cane sugar, cocoa butter and vanilla, are plant-derived, so the bar is technically vegan and gluten-free, but its relatively high net carbs (≈31.6 g) limit its suitability for strict keto regimens, and trace allergens mean it may not be safe for those with milk, nut or soy sensitivities.
