Hema Taro pure fat dark chocolate replaces cocoa butter? Response: The formula has been upgraded, but the labels were not changed in time. The product has been temporarily taken off the shelves.

According to media reports, recently a consumer purchased a double-spaced mochi on the Hema app. The details page stated "pure fat black chocolate," but the ingredient list said "cocoa butter", some legal opinions suggest may involve false advertising. Hema officials responded that after verification, the original formula of the product was cocoa butter substitute. On May 20th, the formula was upgraded to add pure fat black chocolate ingredients on the original basis to improve the taste and quality stability. The consumers actually purchased the upgraded product. However, during the upgrade process, some product labels were not timely replaced, resulting in the labels showing the previous version, failing to fully reflect the change in ingredients, causing misunderstandings to consumers. The product has been temporarily removed from shelves and will be re-listed for sale after confirming the accuracy of the ingredient information and details page.
