What it is

Milk chocolate is a confection made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk. The cocoa solids provide the chocolate flavor and color, while cocoa butter adds richness. The minimum cocoa solid content is typically 31% for milk chocolate.

Why it's used

Health notes

Milk chocolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The primary health considerations relate to its sugar and fat content, which contribute to calorie intake. High intake of sugar and saturated fat can be linked to health concerns like weight gain and cardiovascular issues. The WHO has advised reducing intake of free sugars. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products.

Allergen info

Milk chocolate contains milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless added ingredients introduce it.
