Health notes
Organic milk chocolate is a food product, and its individual components like cocoa, sugar, and milk are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a food, it contributes calories, sugars, and fats to the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming no amount of added sugars and keeping saturated fat intake below 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA evaluate individual food additives, not complex food products like milk chocolate as a whole.
Allergen info
Organic milk chocolate contains milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It may also contain soy (often from soy lecithin) and could be manufactured on equipment that processes tree nuts or peanuts.
