Where to Buy Sugar-Free Chocolates in the UK

Are you struggling to find tasty, affordable sugar-free chocolates online? Look no further! Here’s our list of the best UK-based online shops to buy sugar-free chocolates.

We’ve highlighted each website’s chocolate selection, delivery options, location and more information to help you choose the ideal shop to purchase from.

 

Sugar-Free vs No Added Sugar (NAS): Are They the Same?

For legal reasons, some products can’t be labelled as sugar-free. In the UK and EU, chocolates and other items may only be called “sugar-free” if they contain less than 0.5g sugar per 100g.

Most fruit-flavoured chocolates bars and chocolate-covered nuts can’t be labelled as sugar-free as they contain naturally occurring sugars.

 

1. Ocado

Best for: Environmentally-friendly delivery

Ocado was launched in 2000 – they’ve since expanded to become the UK’s largest online-only retailer.

They operate a large fleet of bio-diesel fuelled delivery vans and are looking towards electric vehicle delivery. All Ocado plastic bags are biodegradable and will naturally break down within a year.

Ocado’s business is set up to be as efficient as possible. They use Customer Fulfilment Centres instead of brick-and-mortar supermarkets; these state-of-the-art facilities handle 25 times as many orders as traditional supermarkets. Their head offices are carbon-neutral.

Just 0.04% of the products handled by Ocado end up as waste. Their advanced software predicts trends among shoppers, allowing them to adjust their stock in advance.

Amazon sells almost every product imaginable. Some items on their website are made by Amazon, but the majority of products they sell are supplied directly from other brands.

Many major sugar-free chocolate brands, including Torras, Diablo and Free’ist, have official Amazon stores. Buying from brand stores on Amazon can be quicker, easier and sometimes cheaper than buying from supermarkets or other online shops.

Amazon Prime members can also buy items from major UK supermarkets via Amazon – this service is limited in rural areas. This allows customers to choose sugar-free chocolates and much more from high street supermarkets including Co-op and Morrisons.
