Health notes
Organic natural cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Cocoa contains flavanols, which are antioxidants that may have beneficial effects on heart health, according to some peer-reviewed reviews. However, the evidence is mixed, and more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, establishing guidelines for their use. High intakes of cocoa products can sometimes lead to digestive upset in sensitive individuals.
Allergen info
