Custom Chocolate Bar Label
Custom chocolate bar labels need a name that matches the chocolate inside, the net weight, the ingredient list with your couverture's own ingredients, a "Contains" line, your name and address and, unless you are exempt, Nutrition Facts. Names like "milk chocolate" and "white chocolate" have FDA recipes behind them, and a 3 oz bar needs two columns. Enter your bar and we handle both.

"Dark chocolate" is not one of the names FDA has standardized. Semisweet and bittersweet are, and both need at least 35% chocolate liquor. If your bar meets that, you can use those names too.
The whole bar. A bar sold on its own that weighs less than 60 g (under 200% of the 30 g reference amount) is one serving, so a 56 g bar is labeled as 1 bar.
Not by federal law. A "may contain" line is your choice, and it has to be true. In chocolate, think about milk first: FDA has found milk in dark chocolate made on lines shared with milk chocolate. Nuts that are in the bar itself always have to be declared, in the ingredient list or a Contains line. "May Contain" Allergen Labeling →
