Have you heard about a lot of chocolate makers that want to change the definition of chocolate? Actually they want the government to allow them to replace cocoa butter with another vegetable fat, up to a level of 5 percent. The chocolate makers that want the change say it would save them money and allow for more flexibility and innovation. Some chocolate makers already use vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter, but they aren't allowed by the FDA to call it chocolate.
Hershey is one of those manufacturers that wants to replace the cocoa butter with another vegetable fat. Hershey has said high quality oils are available that "are equal to or better than cocoa butter in taste, nutrition, texture and function, and are preferred by consumers." What consumers? For Hershey I guess the bottom line is all that matters. Forget about taste.
Tuesday, September 18, 2007 in the Business section of the Patriot News there was an article about Mars vows NOT to make any changes to it's chocolate recipe. I am so glad that at least one local giant candy maker has taken a stand against faux chocolate. Mars has said it will continue to use 100% cocoa butter in its US chocolate products. Hooray for Mars! The company said that allowing vegetable oil would have diluted the quality of its chocolate. "Changing the definition of what chocolate is would be a mistake," said Todd Lachman, president of Hackettstown, NJ-based Mars Snackfoods US. "The bottom line is that we're not going to change our chocolate. Today, Mars US chocolate products are pure, authentic chocolate and they're going to stay that way." Thank you Mars Inc.!
Hershey, you lost me as a consumer. Kiss off!
