Why we picked it

Consumer Reports’ 2023 follow-up named Divine 70% dark chocolate as one of two new ’safer choices’ after testing 48 chocolate products. Divine is a Fairtrade brand co-owned by Ghanaian cocoa farmers, and West African cocoa tends to carry less cadmium than some Latin American cocoa.

Best for

An affordable, widely sold UK dark chocolate from a brand that tested in the lower group

Not for

People who want 85% or higher cocoa, or who need a product tested in the UK

The details that matter.

  • • Named a lower-metal choice by Consumer Reports in 2023
  • • Fairtrade, farmer co-owned brand
