Do You Know What You Are Eating; Is It Chocolate?

If you are a chocolate lover, you should pay attention to this startling information.
The Food and Drug Administration has received a citizen petition calling for modernization of food standards of identity; some of the proposed changes would impact chocolate; and this would change chocolate as we all know it.
The only way you will be able to tell if your chocolate is "chocolate" is to read the nutritional label on each product. That label should list all of the ingredients that were put into that product. The important item you will need to look for would be cocoa butter, (which is extracted from the cocoa beans and makes chocolate smooth and flavorful) or some kind of vegetable fat. You want to see cocoa butter listed, not the vegetable fat!!
I am elated that it will be years before the final changes are made, if at all.
