What it is

Low-fat cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans after most of the cocoa butter (fat) has been removed. The remaining solids are ground into a fine powder. It has a more intense chocolate flavor and a lighter color than natural cocoa powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use low-fat cocoa powder to provide a rich chocolate flavor and color in foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as in chocolate spreads, candies, and beverages.

Health notes

Low-fat cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Cocoa contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants. Some research suggests potential benefits for heart health, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products. Regulatory bodies consider it safe at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Cocoa itself is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
