What it is
Milk chocolate is a type of chocolate confection made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. The cocoa solids provide the chocolate flavor and color, while milk solids add creaminess and a milder taste. The minimum cocoa solids content is typically 30% in the US.
Why it's used
Milk chocolate is primarily used as a confectionary ingredient, providing a sweet, creamy, and chocolatey flavor. It is found in a wide variety of products including candy bars, cookies, ice cream, baked goods, and chocolate coatings.
Health notes
Milk chocolate contains sugar and fat, and its consumption should be considered within the context of a balanced diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates milk chocolate as a food ingredient. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated cocoa and chocolate products. Evidence regarding the health effects of moderate chocolate consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits from cocoa flavanols, while others highlight concerns related to sugar and calorie intake.
Allergen info
Milk chocolate contains milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless other gluten-containing ingredients are added.
