Have you checked out Cote d'Or from Market Street Wine Shop? I was looking at sites on the web after mentioning this to you and it was Belgium I was thinking about - they have strict laws on what ingredients can go into anything and still have it labeled "chocolate". Of of them relates to cocoa content and another is that they rejected the EU standard that up to 5% of the total contents could be vegetable fat rather than cocoa butter, and I assume that "vegetable fat" is what the soy lecithin would be classified as. It may be that they make some things differently for export, though - some companies will do that.

Next time I'm over that way, because I'm sweet and self-sacrificing like this, I'll stop in and devour a bar of it and then check the label and tell you if soy lecithin (or anything else suspicious) is listed among the ingredients.

By the way, I don't think I introduced myself journal-wise. This is Bruce. *waves* I've been journal-surfing a lot lately because I'm going stir crazy working all hours.

Soy lecithin is classified as an emulsifier, not a vegetable fat. And it's used in minute amounts, yet sufficient to make me react.

I thought it might be you, but wasn't sure. Hi, Bruce!
