    Pretty sure the percentage of milk fat is also too low for American Hershey’s chocolate to be classified as chocolate in Europe.

      Why would any milk fat be required for something to be defined as chocolate? Chocolate doesn’t have to contain any milk at all. The only thing my brief research turned up was this, stating that they could only contain up to 5% non cocoa vegetable fats.

      Edit: This claims there is a minimum milk fat for milk chocolate, but no requirement for chocolate in general.
