What is Organic Chocolate?

Organic chocolate is made from cacao beans that are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.

This liquor is then processed with other ingredients, such as sugar and milk (for milk chocolate), to create the final chocolate product.

Health notes

Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, contains flavanols which are antioxidants. Some studies suggest these may have benefits for heart health, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. The FDA considers cocoa and chocolate to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for their intended use as food ingredients. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cocoa and chocolate, but no specific health claims are universally established at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Chocolate itself is not one of the 9 major allergens. However, milk and soy (lecithin) are often added ingredients in chocolate products, making them potential allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added through other ingredients or cross-contamination.
