Vegan dark chocolate

No, not all dark chocolate is automatically vegan. Even with 70 or 80 percent cocoa content, it's worth taking a close look at the ingredients list, as milk fat or whey powder regularly appear there as well. In addition, the production process plays a role: if milk chocolate is produced on the same line, traces can get into the bar. An official vegan certification or a clear indication on the packaging provides the most clarity here.

There is no fixed limit. From about 60% cocoa, many manufacturers omit milk powder because the cocoa mass alone provides enough flavor. Nevertheless, even an 85% bar can contain butterfat as a flavor carrier or traces of milk from production. In the end, therefore, only a look at the ingredient list helps.

With dark chocolate, the focus is on cocoa, not milk. The higher the cocoa content, the less room there is for milk powder or milk fat. Many manufacturers get by with cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and sugar – three ingredients that are naturally plant-based. This makes dark chocolate the most obvious choice for anyone following a plant-based diet.

Not automatically. Many vegan chocolates are produced in factories that also process nuts. At Choco Wonderland, it's different, as our products are fundamentally made without nuts, almonds, and peanuts. So, anyone who eats vegan and also has a nut allergy will definitely find what they're looking for here.
