BCCC Response: LACORS Food Labelling Advice on Raw Chocolate

The LACORS Food Labelling Focus Group agreed labelling advice on raw chocolate in 2009.

This is of particular relevance as an increasing market for such 'raw chocolate' products seem to be emerging, along with consumer interest due to the 'healthy' impression of these products.

Such products can not adopt the name 'chocolate' as it does not meet compositional requirements or a 'sugar free' status. Following discussion regarding the advice, the BCCC Technical & Regulatory Committee meeting agreed to respond to LACORS.
