        <content>The FDA has extended the public comment period to June 25.

Domestic chocolate producers want to be allowed to add "other" oils and ingredients, and to hide some ingredients(hexene).

Please read this discussion and submit your original comment.

If manufacturers can easily slide this past fanatical chocolate lovers, will it lead to further erosion of food rules in other manipulatable food categories? Milk? ....or?

The way things are going, we'll be eating soylent green and not noticing, unless we speak up.</content>
