Manufacturers use semisweet chocolate flakes to add chocolate flavor and texture to baked goods …

What it is

Semisweet chocolate flakes are small pieces of semisweet chocolate. Semisweet chocolate is made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and an emulsifier like soy lecithin. The mixture is heated and then cooled before being formed into small, flat pieces.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use semisweet chocolate flakes to add chocolate flavor and texture to baked goods and frozen desserts. They are often found in cookies, cakes, muffins, and ice cream. The flakes hold their shape well during baking and freezing.

Health notes

Semisweet chocolate contains sugar and fat. The FDA considers cocoa and chocolate products to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for their intended use. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cocoa and chocolate ingredients. While moderate consumption of dark chocolate has been linked to some potential health benefits in peer-reviewed studies, chocolate products can be high in calories and sugar.

Allergen info

Semisweet chocolate flakes may contain soy lecithin, which is derived from soy, a major allergen. They may also be produced in facilities that handle milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, or wheat, leading to potential cross-contamination.
