Was in Waitrose earlier, picking up a few bits for Christmas (and a lot of meat!!).

Stopped at the chocolate section and was very surprised to see that the Waitrose 1 90% chocolate has significantly increased the sugar/carb content. It used to be 14g carb/100g. It’s now 22.4g. See pics (with apologies for the quality!). Checked on the website too, incase it was a printing error, but the same information is there. One customer lost!

Seems they may not be the only ones as the Lindt 85% was showing at 22g/100g, when it used to be 18g.

Updating to say I posted a review on the Waitrose website - a number of others have done the same!

Some seriously rude language from me then regarding 85% Lindt - I've just received my regular month's worth from Amazon and though it tasted different. I'll have to have a rethink as I don't really fancy going to 90% - dark choc was one of my few migraine triggers and I still treat it with caution....:eek::mad::mad::mad:

I found some Divine brand 85% which is 17.9g carb/100g and tastes pretty good. Two 90g bars for £3 in Waitrose.
