Intolerances
- SucroseHigh
- FODMAPsModerate
dark chocolate is low FODMAP in a small amount, but milk and white chocolate add lactose and more sugar, raising FODMAP. Any large serving becomes high FODMAP.
- LactoseModerate
milk powder is the source here — roughly 5-9 g per 100 g. Portions are small, so a square or two often passes where a glass of milk would not.
- NickelModerate
- OxalatesModerate
cocoa and dark chocolate are very high in oxalates, and the more cocoa it contains, the more oxalate. Milk chocolate has less oxalate but still adds up if you eat a lot.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
- GlutenPossible
this processed food may contain gluten from fillers, malt, wheat starch or shared production lines, even though it isn't a wheat product itself. Check for a gluten-free label if you are sensitive.
- FructoseLow
- TyramineLow
- SalicylateLow
- OligosaccharidesNone
