Statute overview

About this statute

This article approves a technical-sanitary regulation for cocoa and chocolate products for human consumption, and makes it mandatory for manufacturers, processors, packers, traders, and importers. Rules for cocoa and chocolate products are approved, apply to manufacturers/importers and related operators, and require specific composition and labeling conditions. This provision defines “sucedáneos de chocolate” and limits the definition to products that replace cocoa butter wholly or partly with other edible vegetable fats and have clear labelling differentiation. This provision repeals lower- or equal-rank rules that conflict with this royal decree, and specifically repeals Royal Decree 822/1990 except for its title VI on analysis methods. This provision says the royal decree is issued under constitutional competence rules.
