Is Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Vegan?
Most Ghirardelli dark chocolates contain milk derivatives, making them unsuitable for the vegan diet. However, there is a black sheep among their line of dark chocolates — the 72% Cacao Twilight Delight Bar. Yes, it’s entirely vegan!
Ingredients in this bar include: unsweetened chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla, and soy lecithin. Although it states that it may contain milk and tree nuts, this is an allergen statement; these ingredients are not used in the production of the bar. It simply means that the bar was produced on the same equipment as milk and nut-containing products, which could cause an allergic reaction in some people. If this is concerning to you, you’ll want to avoid this product.
