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.

    Real dark chocolate doesn't contain milk. A lot of those "may contain" labels are there, because they process X products on the same machines. Similar to the may contain tree nuts, peanuts, etc. labels. Not that they put it in there, but "cross contamination" happens.

    Citation? I've had reactions to Canadian "dark chocolate" and found it contained skim milk products, and I'm pretty sure I had the same happen after some Trader Joe's dark.

    I looked it up /for/ you.

    You're wrong.

    There are minimum cocoa fat and/or solids standards for "chocolate" and "dark chocolate", but the EU, USA, and Canada don't have rules preventing any milk ingredients in products labelled "dark chocolate."
