Does Chocolate contain animal fat?!
Does Chocolate contain animal fat?
Answers:
Most dark chocolate does not. Hershey's dark chocolate does.
I would check the label of any mass produced dark chocolate bars.
Cocoa butter does not contain dairy products, many people get confused about this. And since the US dairy council argued about "soy milk" we should be aware the cocoa butter can't be far behind.
Of course milk chocolate does contain milk and therefore an animal fat.
Just buy your chocolate from a smaller firm and buy it dark.
dairy fats, yes...milk chocolate contains butterfat, obviously...not sure about dark chocolate (animal fat usually refers to the rendered fats from an animal's body, not butterfat from dairy products)
Some contain milk fat from dairy which is a saturated fat. You can find chocolate chips that are made with only cocoa butter, not dairy fat. Ghiredelli make some. Almost all the regular candy bars on the market are milk chocolate.
No. The fat in chocolate comes from cocoa butter, a part of the cacao bean.
Also there might be a little fat that comes from other natural or plant ingredients.
But most of the fat in chocolate comes from cocoa butter
Milk chocolate has milk in it, and therefore it has animal fats. Pure chocolate or dark chocolate does not. It has cocoa in it. If you are ever unsure, check the ingredients of whatever chocolate you are looking at. It should say if it has milk or eggs in it.
