Why does this sea‑salted dark chocolate have a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible for that rating?

The low grade is driven by very high saturated fat (28 g per 100 g), high total fat (46 g) and high sugars (27 g); these components generate the maximum negative points in the Nutri‑Score algorithm, outweighing the modest fiber benefit and resulting in a score of 23 and grade E.

How might the sugar and salt content of this chocolate affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 27 g of sugar per 100 g can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while the 0.39 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and may aggravate hypertension if consumed in large amounts; moderation is essential.

Is this chocolate suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients (cocoa paste, cane sugar, cocoa butter, salt, cocoa) are plant‑based, so the bar is technically vegan and free from gluten‑containing grains, but the high sugar content makes it incompatible with strict keto regimes.
