Ingredients with an unresolved source
Chocolate can contain dairy unless its complete sub-ingredients are listed.
The oil source is not identified as plant-derived.
Unspecified flavourings may contain carriers or ingredients of animal origin.
We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.
Niacin is normally synthesized, but the manufacturing source is not confirmed by this ingredient list.
Riboflavin can be produced by fermentation or other processes; the manufacturing source is not confirmed here.
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.
The source or production method of molasses can vary, so it is not always vegan.
Limits in this record
- ghee appears in structured source data but not in the parsed direct ingredient list, so it was not treated as confirmed.

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.

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 Pepperidge Farm product?
No. This page covers Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chunk Crispy Cookies - Dark Chocolate Pecan, barcode 0014100096979. 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 unspecified chocolate, unspecified oil, flavourings, cajou, niacin, riboflavin, Emulsifier, molasses 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.
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.
What if my label is different?
