Summary

Directive 2000/36/CE, also known as the "cocoa and chocolate directive", has been discussed at great length. The controversy is due to the permission to substitute six categories of vegetable fat to cocoa butter when producing chocolate. The percentage of vegetable fat (less expensive than cocoa butter) in the final product must not exceed 5%.
