After years of lobbying, industrial producers are now allowed to make camembert with pasteurised milk. As a result, one of France's beloved cheeses may be disappearing – for good.

you can buy unsweetened dark chocolate. that stuff is inedible it is so bitter, so it is definitely a diminishing returns sort of thing.
At least in US, can't say I've seen any dark chocolate with milk in it, as it would be milk chocolate at that point.
At one point some of the candy companies in the US were lobbying the FDA to alter thei legal definition of chocolate to allow substitution of cocoa butter with other vegetable fats. that was shot down.
They still do this substitution, but can't call it "chocolate". Technically a Baby Ruth bar isn't covered in chocolate, but has a "chocolatey covering".
At least the chocolate ration is still 30 grams. Thanks, Big Brother. Don't let Emmanuel Goldstein control the chocolate.

"Unsweetened dark chocolate" is Baking Chocolate. It's bitter, but is very delicious when added to things you cook. My "Coffee" in the morning 1 part unsweetened chocolate powder, 1 part French Vanilla creamer with instant coffee in it, sugar to taste, 3/4 of a glass of hot water, 1/4 glass of milk. Very delicious and not so much caffeine that it makes me mean. Unlike those 200mg capsules. The wife also like that chocolatey coffee goodness, so win/win. One might more aptly call it Caffeinated Hot Chocolate.

Inedible? Far from it, unsweetened baking chocolate is quite tasty stuff. Of course it's so strong you won't get much out of it just chomping down on a mouthful, but if you peel fine shavings off and salt them, they're a delicious snack. (Or more crudely, just grab a square and nibble it over the course of an hour -- goes well with a good book.)

You just haven't read the labels. US, EU, Canada all allow milk ingredients in dark chocolate, as long as minimums of cocoa are met.
