    You are right! The less seals the better, and we do activily look for products that have less than 3 seals. This being a “healthy product” with 3 seals is a red flag, because there are non healty products that do have 3 seals too. May be 2 seals can be more acceptable, but 3?? Non-sugar Coca-Cola has 0 seals, it only has labels, which says that the product have caffeine and endulcorants.

    Edit: I post the Coca-Cola example to make you see the irony, because is real.

      I see! Wow, sugarfree Coca-cola has no labels!? Yeah I guess it wouldn’t get any of those five but I would never say it’s healthy. Maybe they should revise the standards for the labels, especially if they’re gonna make a snack marketed as healthy that gets 3 seals. Seems like being made from natural ingredients (such as cane sugar instead of sweeteners) and without flavorants or colorants (opposite of what Zero Coke did to not get any labels) is one of the big selling points of this chocolate bar, so perhaps it would be a good idea to account for this with the seals somehow. But then people might think the government is just changing the standards to their conveniences so I don’t really know.
