The leader on each nutrient
There is no single healthiest chocolate product in the data: each nutrient has its own leader, per 100 g (in single-serve aisles, "most" rankings go by the serving as sold). Each row opens its full ranking.

| Least sugar | Unsweetened Chocolate Premium Baking Bar (Godiva)One of 34 products at this value; the tie is broken by more protein. | 0 g per 100 g |
| Least sodium | Dark Chocolate with Sweetener (Antiu Xixona)One of 1,112 products at this value; the tie is broken by more protein. | 0 mg per 100 g |
