  • In der EU darf Hershey’s nicht mal als Schokolade bezeichnet werden, da sie den dafür erforderlichen Kakaoanteil von 25% mit gerade einmal 11% weit unterschreitet.

    Edith:

    Um genau zu sein nach EU Directive 2000/36/EC:

    Milk Chocolate: Must contain at least 25% total cocoa solids, including a minimum of 14% dry milk solids.

    Dark Chocolate: Must contain at least 35% cocoa solids.

    White Chocolate: Must contain at least 20% cocoa butter and 14% milk solids.

    Others: Additionally, the EU allows up to 5% of vegetable fats other than cocoa butter in chocolate, provided this is clearly stated on the packaging.
