Nutrition information
Typical reference information: cocoa nutrition values vary by format, fat percentage, and processing method. Unsweetened dry cocoa powder is commonly a source of carbohydrate, fibre, fat, protein, and minerals, but exact values depend on whether the ingredient is natural cocoa powder, alkalized cocoa powder, cocoa extract, or another cocoa format. Add final fat, carbohydrate, fibre, protein, sugar, sodium, iron, potassium, and mineral values from the supplier specification sheet or COA.
Allergen information
Cocoa itself is not one of the major dairy allergens, but cross-contact can vary by supplier and facility. Confirm allergen and cross-contact status from the final specification.
Directions
For formulation or raw material use only. Use level depends on the finished product application, flavour target, colour target, and formulation requirements.
Warnings
Final warnings should be based on the intended use, target market, and supplier documentation.
Storage
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture, heat, strong odours, and direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed after opening. Follow the final supplier specification or label instructions when available.
