As a dietary expert with a focus on veganism, I can provide you with a detailed answer to your question.

Not all dark chocolate is necessarily vegan. While dark chocolate is often made from cocoa solids, sugar, and sometimes vanilla, it can contain non-vegan ingredients such as milk powder or whey powder. However, there are many brands that produce vegan dark chocolate, which is made with plant-based ingredients and does not contain any animal-derived components.

To determine if a dark chocolate is vegan, it's important to check the ingredient list. Look for the absence of dairy products and ensure that there are no animal-derived additives like emulsifiers (which can sometimes be sourced from animals). Some common animal-derived additives to watch out for include casein, whey, lactose, and stearic acid (when it's not specified as being plant-based).
