Chocolat Lait Spiruline - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

This milk chocolate with spirulina reaches the maximum European Score of 100, underpinned by strong French roots. The producer is based in France, earning the full 35 points for company headquarters, and the chocolate is crafted in France, in the Loir-et-Cher, securing the full 35 points for manufacturing. Because the company and its production site share the same country, the proximity dimension is awarded its full 5 points.

Ingredients score 5 rather than the maximum 10, which is the one moderating factor in an otherwise flawless sheet. Chocolate inevitably relies on cocoa sourced outside Europe, and the labelling acknowledges both EU and non-EU agriculture, so the raw materials cannot be credited as fully European. This does not lower the headline score, which remains at the ceiling, but it explains why the ingredient pillar is not maxed. Distribution earns the full 15 points, and the combined organic and fair-trade credentials deliver the full 5 points for certifications, with artisanal production reinforcing the quality positioning.

Within the milk chocolates category, which contains 777 products, this bar sits in the 92nd percentile, outscoring 92% of its peers. That is a notably high standing in a crowded field, driven by domestic headquarters, domestic manufacturing and recognised ethical certification.
