Chocolate Dry Yogurt Powder from Japan
This is a dry yogurt powder that contains cocoa added during the fermentation process. It retains the essential character of yogurt and the cocoa is not used to replace any milk constituent, so it falls under tariff item 0403.20.21, which covers yogurt containing chocolate and not put up for retail sale.
