What it is

High fat cocoa processed with alkali, also known as Dutch-process cocoa, is made by treating natural cocoa powder with an alkaline solution. This process neutralizes the natural acidity of cocoa, resulting in a darker color and a milder, smoother chocolate flavor compared to natural cocoa powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Dutch-process cocoa to achieve a richer, less bitter chocolate taste and a deeper color in baked goods and desserts. It is commonly found in cakes, cookies, brownies, ice cream, and chocolate-flavored beverages.

Health notes

High fat cocoa processed with alkali is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The FDA has not established specific upper intake levels for this ingredient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cocoa and cocoa products. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Cocoa itself is not one of the nine major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
