Health Integrity Analysis

Is Slightly Coated Dark Chocolate Almonds truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 95/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

✅ Ingredient Quality: Clean Label

A major advantage of Slightly Coated Dark Chocolate Almonds is what it doesn't contain. Our scan found no high-risk synthetic dyes (like Red 40), artificial preservatives, or controversial sweeteners. This "Clean Label" status significantly boosts its health rating.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 14g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 4 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.
