So that’s already 70%. How do you squeeze in 35% of sugar in there? Something is wrong with that label. I don’t trust anything it says anymore. But more likely I’m just dumb at math and nutrition. Does cocoa or hazelnuts contain sugar naturally and that’s why it goes to 35%, meaning 5% of hazelnut or cocoa content is actually sugar.
