chocolate

Whey is used to replace milk owing to its low cost compared to milk. It must have a milky, sweet taste, and a moderate salty touch.

For products bearing the "chocolate" denomination, European legislation allows for the addition of up to 5% of whey. For other denominations (compounds, fillings …), the incorporation rate is unlimited, as it is in most non-EU countries.
