Dietitian note

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can be a trigger for GERD symptoms. Caffeine and Theobromine, both found in chocolate, can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This muscle acts as a barrier between the esophagus and stomach. When relaxed, it allows stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn. The high fat content in chocolate can also contribute to GERD symptoms by slowing down digestion and relaxing the LES.

Smells and tastes like beef gravy

This is such a weird weird flavour I don't know how it ended up so odd especially with their other chocolates being ok. It tastes savory and beefy, almost like gravy granules in chocolate. I've tried this multiple times as it's one of the only brands I can have but it's never gotten more palettable
