Don’t Mess with Chocolate - Last Days to Comment to FDA
Published by Karyn Zoldan June 21st, 2007 in Chocolate Chocolate, Food for Thought, Foodie Passions, Opinions.There are only a few more days to comment to the FDA about saving the quality of chocolate. Otherwise, good American chocolate as we know it will be devoid of the prime ingredient of cocoa butter and whole milk and replaced with a mystery vegetable oil and whey powder. Yuck. Mystery vegetable oil sounds like more trans fat.
If the Chocolate Marketing Association wants to dumb down the quality of chocolate, they should call it something else as previously suggested like fake-olate.
Please read my previous post about what’s involved and how to comment to the FDA.
The deadline is June 25.
I did it!
I poated the original blog with the petition website on egullet. Maybe it will get a few more responses!
Here’s an opinion in the New York Times today.
