    Look them up on Amazon, one of their slides says “pure chocolate no additives”

    Mother fucker this shit is all additives and no chocolate.

    “In the United Kingdom, chocolate is legally defined by the Cocoa and Chocolate Products Regulations 2003. To be labeled as chocolate, a product must meet specific criteria:

    It must contain not less than 35% total dry cocoa solids, including:
    At least 18% cocoa butter
    At least 14% dry non-fat cocoa solids

    For milk chocolate, the UK requires:

    A minimum of 20% cocoa solids
    A minimum of 20% milk solids”

    I find it mad that American food is such shit quality and so poorly regulated.

    Edit: changed autocorrect from slouch to such.

    Hahaha. Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American.

    From a food science perspective I find this fascinating but from a human cook perspective I find this insulting and degrading to the profession.

    The duality of cook.

    Only in America. Other countries have laws to protect their consumers.

    Nothing is sacred except the shareholders margins.

  8. It’s most likely in the artificial flavoring. I’ve learned that’s where you can hide a lot of stuff.

    Usually includes gluten if it’s not gluten free. So I’m sure it’s some sort of “chocolate” flavoring they’ve trademarked or want to keep a secret.

    That says dark chocolate wafers. There’s also a space before “Sugar”.

    I imagine some form of cocoa powder or chocolate is the first ingredient and something went wrong with copy + pasting for the label.

    Give ’em a call or send them an email, they probably don’t know that there’s an error.

    “Dark chocolate” (milk and sugar with colouring and artificial flavours) America is becoming China, where everything is fake.

    Hydrogenated anything is horrible if you and it’s like their 3rd ingredient. Avoid these at all costs.

  13. Thats really odd, even in the US, it should say “chocolate-flavored” if it doesn’t fit the standards for cocoa solids. Is this “brand” a reseller/packer, who sells smaller quantities from large bulk packages? Seems like a label misprint, really.

    Because that’s not chocolate, it’s melting wafers. Dark chocolate is the adjective here, not the noun.
