What it is

Reduced fat cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans after most of the cocoa butter (fat) has been removed. The remaining solids are ground into a powder. This process results in a less fatty, but still flavorful, cocoa ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use reduced fat cocoa powder to provide a chocolate flavor and color in baked goods and confectionery. It is commonly found in cookies, cakes, brownies, and chocolate-flavored snacks. Its lower fat content can also affect the texture and density of the final product.

Health notes

Reduced fat cocoa powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Cocoa contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants. Some research suggests potential benefits from regular consumption of flavonoid-rich cocoa products, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products. The health effects of reduced fat cocoa powder at typical intake levels are not a significant concern.

Allergen info

Reduced fat cocoa powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
