Why Sugar Free D'Lite Rich Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bar scores EC2
Nutrition is an E on 3.6 g protein per 100 g and no vitamins. Ingredients are a C because maltitol, PGPR, lecithin and flavouring cost points. Risk is a 2, driven by 467 kcal and 220.9 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 3.6 g
- Fibre
- 3 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 467 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 3.6 g per 100 g and fibre is 3 g, which comes from added fructo-oligosaccharides rather than from the cocoa. In a 20 g serve that is 0.7 g protein and 0.6 g fibre.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to the grade and it stays at the bottom.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C
Maltitol leads the list, with cocoa butter at 33% and cocoa solids at 18% behind it, so about half the bar is real cocoa material. No ingredient is hydrogenated and the label has no hollow promise, so nothing is lost on label integrity.
The points go on four additives: maltitol, PGPR (INS 476), lecithin (INS 322) and a flavouring whose class is not stated as natural-only. Each costs ingredient points, and none of them has a declared percentage.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 220.9 mg
03 Load risk: why 2
Risk is a 2. Added sugar is 0 g, so sugar plays no part. Energy is the larger share at 467 kcal per 100 g, and sodium of 220.9 mg per 100 g adds a smaller part.
Saturated fat is not given in the nutrition table, only a pack line capping it at 23 g per 100 g, so it does not feature in the risk number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Sugar Free D'Lite Rich Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bar live up to its claims?
Sugar free, the 50% cocoa minimum and the zero trans fat listing hold: cocoa butter and cocoa solids add up to 51%. Naturally Sweetened and the antioxidant line need care.
- On the packHolds
“Sugar Free / No added sugars”
Total sugar is 0.2 g per 100 g and added sugar is 0 g. The sweetness comes from maltitol, which still adds calories.
- On the packHolds
“Min 50% cocoa”
Cocoa butter (33%) and cocoa solids (18%) together make 51% of the bar.
- On the packBe careful
“Good source of antioxidants”
The pack's footnote only says the product contains cocoa, which has antioxidants. No antioxidant amount is given.
- Product nameBe careful
“Naturally Sweetened”
The sweetness comes from maltitol, a sugar alcohol, and the pack declares artificial chocolate cocoa rich flavouring substances.
- Retail listingHolds
“Zero trans fat”
The retailer page shows zero trans fat, and the pack shows not more than 0.05 g per 100 g (0.5% of the daily value per serve), far under the 0.2 g FSSAI allows for a trans fat free claim, so the claim holds.
What's in Sugar Free D'Lite Rich Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bar?
Maltitol leads the list, then cocoa butter at 33% and cocoa solids at 18%. The sweetener, two emulsifiers and the flavouring are what to watch.
7 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research. 3 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Maltitol (INS 965 (i)) comes first, so it is the largest single ingredient and replaces the sugar. Cocoa butter (33%) and cocoa solids (18%) give the chocolate its body and flavour, and fructo-oligosaccharides add the declared fibre. Two emulsifiers (INS 322 and INS 476) keep the fat and cocoa mixed and smooth, and chocolate flavouring rounds out the taste. The pack says it contains soy and may contain traces of almond.
The label numbers, read for you
The numbers that decide the score are energy and the lack of nutrients. The bar has 467 kcal per 100 g, about 93 kcal in a 20 g serve and 187 kcal in the whole 40 g bar, with 35.3 g fat per 100 g. Sugar is 0.2 g per 100 g and added sugar is 0 g, yet carbohydrate is still 57.3 g per 100 g.
Protein is small at 3.6 g per 100 g, about 0.7 g per serve. Fibre is 3 g per 100 g as oligofructose, and sodium is 220.9 mg per 100 g, about 44 mg per serve. No vitamins or minerals are declared.
Not in our additive research yet: Maltitol (INS 965 (i)); INS 322; INS 476.
Ingredients to watch
- Maltitol (INS 965 (i))Worth watching
A sugar alcohol that replaces sugar for sweetness and bulk, and the pack warns it may have a laxative effect. It costs ingredient points.
- PGPR (INS 476)Worth watching
An emulsifier that keeps the cocoa butter and cocoa solids smoothly blended in the chocolate. It costs ingredient points.
- Flavouring (Chocolate Cocoa Rich)Worth watching
Adds chocolate taste, and the pack describes it as artificial flavouring substances. It costs ingredient points.
- Lecithin (INS 322)Worth watching
An emulsifier that helps fat and cocoa particles hold together, and the pack notes the bar contains soy. It costs ingredient points.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- Saturated fat is not given in the nutrition table, only a pack line capping it at 23 g per 100 g.
