Chocolate is tricky for vegans. Dark chocolate is usually safe, but "may contain milk" warnings, butterfat, and whey cause confusion. Here's the full breakdown, or scan the barcode.
"Dark chocolate" on the front doesn't guarantee vegan. Check for milk fat, butterfat, or whey in the ingredients. Our engine catches all of these.
