Who certifies chocolate?

NOM-186-SSA1/SCFI-2013 regulates the certification of genuine chocolates and was generated in collaboration with different organizations and institutions, such as the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Health, and the National Association of Manufacturers of Chocolates and Similar, A.C.
The objective of this standard is to establish the sanitary and commercial specifications that cocoa, chocolates, similar products, and cocoa derivatives must meet.

NYCE

What is NYCE?

It is an organization that evaluates conformity in terms of Official Mexican Standards (NOM) and Mexican Standards (NMX) for various industries for more than 25 years.
Its objective is to provide security and confidence to the industry and, above all, to consumers at a national and international level.

Genuine Chocolate Certification

When a product bears the NOM-NICE certification seal, you can be sure that they are products that have all the characteristics and ingredients established in the Official Mexican Standard, in order to offer consumers 100% genuine products.

Characteristics of a Genuine Chocolate

 

For a chocolate to be considered genuine, it must have these characteristics:

  • For the category of chocolate powder. It must contain a minimum of 18% total cocoa solids. This refers to the content of cocoa or cocoa paste.
  • For the table chocolate category. For this category, the minimum percentage of cocoa paste that it must contain to be considered genuine chocolate is 20%.
  • For semisweet table chocolate. In this category, the rule is stricter, since to hold the denomination of genuine chocolate, the product must contain at least 30% cocoa paste.
