White Chocolate Deviating From Identity Standard; Extension of Temporary Permit for Market Testing

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the extension of a temporary permit issued to Hershey Foods Corp., to market test products identified, in part, as ``white chocolate'' that deviate from the U.S. standards of identity for chocolate products, including chocolate liquor, sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, buttermilk chocolate, skim milk chocolate, and mixed dairy product chocolates. The extension will allow the permit holder to continue to collect data on consumer acceptance of the products while the agency takes action on two petitions to establish a standard of identity for white chocolate that were submitted by the permit holder and by the Chocolate Manufacturers Association.
