This chocolate tastes disgusting!

i agree with steve, it does look kinda old and discoloured. like most dairy, i've found chocolate can pick up "refrigerator" flavours, or the aromas of stuff that it's stored next to.

also, i'm not so sure if i'd buy mexican chocolate at all. ever since i saw a warning in our pediatrician's office, i'm very wary of buying any candy from mexico or central/south america. the article warned that things flavoured with tamarind, certain fruits, and chocolate contain unacceptable levels of lead. just what you don't need to be feeding to young'ins.

Is all chocolate considered dairy?

soma, i don't mean to be alarmist about it. if it's a reputable brand, you might be ok. you should research the brand and known bad ones.

jpb, that's a good point. milk chocolate is dairy, but maybe not darker chocolate, or in really dark the dairy might be negligible.

Cancun airport has a very good reputation, I highly doubt it would sell unsafe chocolate!

 

[buckytom]

they sell unsafe candy in bodegas in this country.
