What it is

Lowfat cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans after most of the cocoa butter (fat) has been removed. The remaining solids are dried and ground into a fine powder. It has a less rich flavor and lighter color than natural cocoa powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lowfat cocoa powder primarily for its chocolate flavor and color. It is a key ingredient in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as in candies, ice cream, and beverages.

Health notes

Lowfat cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Cocoa contains flavonoids, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cocoa and its components. Evidence on the health effects of cocoa consumption at typical intake levels is still being studied.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
