Is Côte d'Or vegan?
Limited accidental vegan options in dark chocolate (e.g., 70% and 86%), but no dedicated vegan line or labeling.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
