Vegan Chocolates

We ran 1,794 chocolates through our vegan rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 1,248 don't make it.

Milk is the wall in this aisle: it defines milk chocolate and it creeps into most dark bars as traces from shared lines. Watch also for shellac glazes and butterfat hiding mid-list. Dark bars with a clean recipe and certified vegan ranges are what survives.
