GHIRARDELLI Premium Baking 100% Cocoa Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 8oz

A: I would defuse more cocoa and less sugar!

A: Hi. Does it mean 70% - Sugar and Cocoa - 30% ?

A: The Ghirardelli cocoa powder can be used for a hot chocolate beverage. We recommend mixing a 70/30 ratio of sugar to cocoa powder and adding 6-8oz of milk per serving.

A: “Ghirardelli claims that the conditions on the farms and the programs administered are 'better than certification'. However the program lacks one of the very tenets of Fair Trade – independent monitoring by a certifying body that measures against universal standards.” It does not have the Fair Trade mark on the package.

A: The Ghirardelli 8oz cocoa powder pouches have the lot code and best before date stamped under the Ziploc closure on the back of the package.

A: It is not alkalized or dutch processed. It says non-alkalized in the label info section.

A: The process used for this baking cocoa is alkalized.

A: As of January 1, 2023, the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard requires disclosure of bioengineered (BE) food ingredients on labels. We are pleased to confirm that Ghirardelli chocolate and cocoa powders (excluding baking mixes and sauces) do not contain bioengineered ingredients and are not required to be labeled as such.

A: Lindt & Sprüngli quality and safety procedures ensure that their entire line of products complies with all applicable health and safety standards and declaration requirements and are safe to consume. Lead and cadmium are present in the soil, water, and air. Therefore, they can occur at trace levels deemed safe by regulators in food made using raw, natural ingredients, including cocoa beans. Lindt & Sprüngli focuses on raw material selection, screening and processing, and continuous monitoring and improving of its production process parameters.

A: The caffeine content in our 100% Unsweetened Cocoa powder is 3mg per serving.

A: We understand that gluten sensitivity is a concern for many, and we want to ensure you have the best experience with our chocolates. While some of our premium chocolate products do contain gluten, either as a cereal ingredient or barley component, we also offer a selection of chocolates without the gluten-containing ingredients, making them a wonderful option for those with dietary restrictions. For your convenience, ingredient listings are available on our website. However, we always recommend checking the packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date information. We truly empathize with those who are currently unable to enjoy all our chocolate offerings. Rest assured; we are continuously working to expand our range to better accommodate the diverse dietary needs of our consumers.

A: The best before date can be found on the back of the bag. You will see a letter followed by a series of numbers. Example: “P” 4563H21 123124. P4563H21 is the manufactures lot code, 123124 would be the best before date. In this case it would be December 31, 2024. Unfortunately, without the lot code we have no way of looking up the best before date.

A: Ghirardelli does not produce any vegan products at this time.
