Yes! All our chocolates are gluten and dairy free. However, as a precaution we state that our products may contain traces of milk due to some of our ingredients sharing equiptment.
We source our cacao from small farms in Peru (occasionally Ecuador or Guatemala), its is labeled as a raw, organic and fair trade product. We will only ever use the best cacao in our chocolates.
We use organic coconut blossom sugar and nectar and believe that this is a superior sweetener to cane sugar. We also use organic brown rice syrup in a few flavours and organic dates in our Salted Caramel Crunch. All of these are naturally derived and our bars contain no artificial sweeteners.
Yes all of our bars are vegan
Tonic herbs are extracted plant material that are used to restore the body, support the immune system and support overall well-being. Tonic herbs also may support strength, endurance, fertility, immune function, vitality, energy, and more.
We choose not to use weird sweeteners (we are well aware of them all) though we don’t feel comfortable consuming or creating such an artificial food. Chocolate is a sweet food to be eaten in moderation, we know that we would rather eat a natural sugar from a plant, then from one that has been created artificially in a lab. Erythritol was discovered as a bi product from a cleaning company in Japan.
We independently test our cacao and chocolate for cadmium, lead, arsenic and mercury. Recently in the media there has been some headlines around the cadmium and Lead content of cacao. This was mainly based in the US where regulations are a little more relaxed around the contaminants in food products. Australia is very strict when it comes to this. Please find more information on the levels of contaminants and natural occurring toxins HERE.
As you can see the amount allowed per mg/kg in cacao is 0.5mg per kg which is a tiny amount and there is no standard for lead in cacao as it is very minimal. Lead however in other foods such as fish, salt and vegetables is more concerning though not making headlines. Loco Love tests its cacao paste and chocolate for heavy metals as well as mycotoxins. Our products contain no mycotoxins and in comparison to other companies who might not even test very low heavy metals.
Please email us if you would like to see the latest results.
We independently test for 12 of the most common mycotoxins and our chocolate does not contain any.
