What it is

Milk chocolate is a confection made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. The "31% Min" indicates that the product contains at least 31% cocoa solids, a key component that gives chocolate its flavor and color.

Why it's used

Milk chocolate is widely used as a primary ingredient in candy bars, baking, and desserts. Its sweet, creamy flavor makes it a popular choice for confections, coatings, and as a flavoring agent in ice cream and pastries.

Health notes

Milk chocolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for milk chocolate itself, but like all foods, excessive consumption may contribute to calorie intake. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, and EFSA has also assessed cocoa and chocolate, generally finding them safe for consumption. While some studies explore the potential benefits of cocoa flavanols, milk chocolate also contains sugar and fat, and its health impact depends on overall dietary patterns.

Allergen info

Milk chocolate is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless added ingredients introduce it.
