60% Dark Chocolate Bar
While Jacques Torres is a prestigious culinary brand, this bar fails to meet the 70% cocoa threshold required for cardiovascular health benefits and lacks transparency regarding heavy metal testing or alkalization. It is a high-quality confection rather than a therapeutic high-flavanol product.
