What it is

White chocolate is a confectionery product made from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. Unlike dark or milk chocolate, it does not contain cocoa solids, which are responsible for the brown color and distinct chocolate flavor. The cocoa butter gives it a smooth texture and a pale ivory color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use white chocolate as a flavoring and texturizer in a wide variety of sweet foods. Its creamy sweetness makes it popular in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as a coating for candies and fruits, and as a base for ice cream and desserts.

Health notes

White chocolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugar and fat, so excessive consumption can contribute to high calorie intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated cocoa butter and milk solids, but specific evaluations for 'white chocolate' as a distinct ingredient are not typically noted. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

White chocolate is derived from milk solids, making it a dairy product and thus a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
