International and national regulations govern what can be marketed as ''chocolate''. International standards are laid out in the [[Codex Alimentarius]], which is revised very infrequently: as of 2017 it had not been changed since 2003.{{Sfnp|Thomas|2017|p=669}} Given the Codex requirements, participating countries can choose to accept them in full or in a modified form. Participating countries include all members of the [[World Trade Organization]], which, upon joining, are obliged to base their domestic standards on international agreements such as the Codex.{{Sfnp|Wood|2017|p=676}} |
