What it is
Lowfat cocoa is made by removing most of the cocoa butter (fat) from ground cocoa beans. The remaining powder is then processed, often with alkali, to create a darker color and milder flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use lowfat cocoa as a flavoring agent and colorant in a wide variety of chocolate-flavored products. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as in ice cream, chocolate bars, and beverages.
Health notes
Lowfat cocoa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of flavanols, which are plant compounds that have been studied for potential antioxidant effects. Regulatory bodies like EFSA and JECFA have evaluated cocoa and its components. Evidence on the health effects of cocoa flavanols is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits related to heart health, while others show mixed results.
Allergen info
Lowfat cocoa is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
