The cocoa beans used in Silk Chocolate Soymilk are Dutch processed. This means that the cocoa beans are cleaned, cracked and roasted. At the time of roasting, the beans are treated with alkali for color and flavor. This process yields a dark, flavorful cocoa "liquor," which is made into a cocoa cake that is then milled into cocoa powder. There is no dairy involved in this process.

Dairy allergies can range from mild indigestion to anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. All Silk products are dairy-free, lactose-free and casein-free.

Cocoa is finely pulverised de-fatted, roasted CACAO kernels, to which natural and artificial spices and flavours may be added. It is commercially manufactured by pumping hot CHOCOLATE liquor (semi-liquid ground cacao kernels) into hydraulic cage presses where, under extreme pressure, part of the fat, or cocoa butter, is removed. The fat content of cocoa varies from less than 10% to 22% or more for breakfast or high fat cocoa.

Cocoa flavanols are naturally occurring compounds found in cocoa beans. Preliminary studies suggest that cocoa flavanols may have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health by: Promoting healthy platelet function, which may contribute to the maintenance of healthy blood flow and circulation. Reducing the oxidation of LDL, a process believed to be an initial step in the development of heart disease.

Not all chocolate or cocoa contain the same level of cocoa flavanols, because these compounds can be lost during processing of the cocoa. Mars, Incorporated developed a proprietary method of gently processing cocoa beans shown to retain much of the naturally occurring flavanols in their chocolate products.
