Ingredients with an unresolved source

mono- and diglycerides

Mono- and diglycerides can be made from plant or animal fats.

flavourings

Unspecified flavourings may contain carriers or ingredients of animal origin.

unspecified processing aid

The exact processing ingredient and its source are not listed.

triple sec

We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.

dough

The source or production method of dough can vary, so it is not always vegan.

Acidity regulator

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

Acid

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

Gelling agent

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

sucrose

The source or production method of sucrose can vary, so it is not always vegan.

sourdough

The source or production method of sourdough can vary, so it is not always vegan.

speculoos

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

Emulsifier

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

cointreau

The source or production method of cointreau can vary, so it is not always vegan.

liqueur

The source or production method of liqueur can vary, so it is not always vegan.

caramel

Plain ‘caramel’ is ambiguous: it may mean vegan caramel colour or a dairy-containing caramel preparation. Look for ‘caramel colour’, E150, or dairy sub-ingredients.

Nutrition + processing

Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

Source values per 100 g or 100 ml, as supplied by the record. Confirm the basis on the package; these are not per-serving values.

How our indicator is calculated

When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product

Is this answer valid for every Libeert product?

No. This page covers Libeert Luxury Belgian Chocolate, barcode 5411901040319. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.

What still needs to be confirmed?

The source of mono- and diglycerides, flavourings, unspecified processing aid, triple sec, dough, Acidity regulator, Acid, Gelling agent, sucrose, sourdough, speculoos, Emulsifier, cointreau, liqueur, caramel needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.

Does “may contain” make it non-vegan?

A precautionary trace statement describes possible cross-contact, not an ingredient intentionally included in the recipe. We keep it separate from the recipe assessment. This distinction does not establish allergy safety.

Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?

No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.
