Cocoa, chocolate — is it halal?
Description
Cocoa beans and their products: cocoa mass, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, chocolate, coatings. The beans themselves are plant-based. After harvest the beans ferment with their pulp: yeasts produce alcohol, then bacteria oxidise it to acetic acid. Milk and white chocolate contain milk. In the EU animal fats other than milk fat may not be added to chocolate; cocoa butter alternatives are plant-only.
