Key Details & Warnings

1. Organic Certification:

   • The product claims to be organic (bio), meaning it adheres to EU organic standards (Regulation (EC) No 834/2007). However, verify the certification logo (e.g., EU Organic, AB, or Bio Suisse) on the packaging to confirm authenticity.

2. Allergen & Health Considerations:

   • Cocoa powder is naturally caffeine-free but contains theobromine (a mild stimulant; safe for adults but may affect sensitive individuals or pets).
   • No artificial additives (if truly organic), but check for:
     • Sulfites (common in cocoa; may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals).
     • Heavy metals (e.g., cadmium; organic cocoa may still contain trace amounts, though levels are typically low in well-sourced products).
     • Alkaloids (e.g., phenylethylamine; may cause mild digestive discomfort in excess).
   • Diabetics: High in natural sugars (cocoa solids contain ~10–15% sugar). Monitor intake if managing blood sugar.
   • Pregnancy: Safe in moderation, but avoid excessive caffeine/theobromine sources.
