100% cacao et éclats de orange

The barcode 30030459 is associated with a product labeled "100% Cacao et éclats d’orange" (100% Cacao with Orange Fragments), which appears to be a type of dark chocolate bar or cacao paste with orange pieces. Below is a detailed breakdown based on available data and general industry knowledge:

Product Identification

• Brand/Manufacturer: The barcode 30030459 is linked to Lindt & Sprüngli (or a distributor in some regions), a well-known Swiss confectionery company. However, this specific barcode may also appear on similar products from other brands (e.g., regional or private-label chocolatiers) due to barcode reuse or distribution variations.

• Product Type:

  • Likely a dark chocolate bar (70%+ cacao) with orange zest or dried orange fragments (eclats d’orange).
  • Could also be a cacao nib or paste with orange pieces, though this is less common for consumer bars.
  • The "100% cacao" claim may be misleading if the product contains added sugars, milk, or other ingredients (common in chocolate marketing). Verify the full ingredient list for accuracy.

• Origin: If manufactured by Lindt, it would likely be produced in Switzerland or another European facility. Some generic versions may be made in other countries (e.g., France, Belgium, or Asia).

Key Details

1. Ingredients (Likely Composition):
   • Primary: Cacao mass/paste, sugar (if not "100% cacao"), cocoa butter, and orange peel or zest (dried or candied).
   • Possible Additives:
     • Emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin).
     • Preservatives (e.g., sulfur dioxide in some dried fruits).
     • Vanilla or other flavorings (though the name suggests minimal additives).
   • Allergens: Cocoa contains traces of milk (if processed in shared facilities) and may cross-contaminate with nuts or soy. Always check packaging for allergen warnings.
