What it is

Non-GMO chocolate is chocolate produced without genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It is made from cacao beans, sugar, and other ingredients, processed to create a chocolate flavor and texture. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the ingredients used have not been genetically engineered.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-GMO chocolate primarily for its flavor and color in a wide range of products. It is commonly found in baked goods like croissants, muffins, and sweet rolls, as well as in snack bars and confectionery.

Health notes

Non-GMO status refers to the method of crop cultivation, not a direct health impact of the chocolate itself. Chocolate contains compounds like flavonoids, which are antioxidants. The FDA does not have specific regulations for 'non-GMO' claims, but they must be truthful. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated some components of chocolate, but not 'non-GMO chocolate' as a distinct ingredient.

Allergen info

Chocolate itself is not a major allergen. However, it may be processed in facilities that handle allergens, or contain other ingredients that are major allergens. Check product labels for specific allergen information. Not a gluten source.
