The article clarifies the ongoing debate around white chocolate's authenticity as a chocolate product. It explains that white chocolate is not a true chocolate due to its lack of chocolate solids (pure cocoa). Instead, it is made from a combination of cocoa butter, milk, sugar, milk fat, and lecithin. To be labeled as white chocolate, it must contain a specific mixture of 20% cocoa butter, 55% sugar, 14% milk solids, and 3.5% fat.
