The new standard stipulates that the fat content of non-cocoa butter in chocolate should not exceed 5%, and the lower limit of cocoa butter content in chocolate should not be less than 20% for white chocolate and 18% for dark chocolate. But there is no specific lower limit for milk chocolate. According to industry sources, the market of pure chocolate will be bigger and bigger.

The cocoa butter content in chocolate and chocolate products should be at least greater than 18% (except milk chocolate). When buying chocolate products, be sure to see the ingredients clearly.
