Default Chocolate Purists Alarmed by Proposal To Fudge Standards

wrote

...the current FDA standard for chocolate says it must contain cacao
fat -- a.k.a. cocoa butter -- and this proposal would make it

possible
to call something chocolate even if it had vegetable oil instead of
that defining ingredient.


As seen... in Europe. 2 years ago, IIRC.
So, now, one has to check all the ingredients to know whether he's
buying chocolate or crap.
