A: These 60% bittersweet chocolate chips contain 6g of sugar per serving, they do not contain sugar alcohol. We are launching 72% Cacao and 100% Cacao (no sugar added) in Fall of 2020.

A: Lily’s has erythritol and inulin. Goalz has allulose. Both are sugar free.

A: None - until you add some.

A: There's 7 grams of Maltitol Sugar!! Its hidden sugar!! I cannot have sugar. I hate when a product says sugar free and then has hidden sugar in it! Anything ending in "ol" is HIDDEN SUGAR! I WANT TO S

A: I avoid dairy (cheese, milk, all of it) but I made an exception when the ingredients changed on these chips. Fortunately, they don't seem to impact me, so it must not be much. But that is just my experience. If you really can't eat dairy be careful.

A: According to the list of ingredients on the back of the bag, the chocolate "may contain milk."

A: Guittard chocolate is comparable quality to Ghirardelli & is "Free from 14 allergens & sensitizers" including dairy. I like the Guittard Extra Dark Chocolate, which is 63% cacao.

A: Yes, it is absolutely dairy-free. My husband's lactose intolerant, so I did my homework before making a flourless chocolate cake for him. Some may have dairy from the fat they use, like butter, but this product uses cocoa butter, which is the oil extracted from the cocoa. So no worries!😄

A: Thank you for your feedback; we will share it.

A: Everything that has zero sugar, sugar free, etc, is more expensive for some reason.

A: I agree. But then, it is consistent with the prices of other chocolates, so I can't single them out.
