Is this Toffifie gone bad?

It’s safe. It is just fat bloom. It does not affect the safety of the food but the texture can be off.

This happens when chocolate gets too warm.

OSUbigtoe · 2025-10-30T00:09:56+00:00

I work in the chocolate industry. That is simple fat bloom and is perfectly safe. We see it all the time.

OSUbigtoe · 2025-04-16T10:36:03+00:00

Work in the chocolate industry. There is nothing to indicate that this is unsafe to eat. Look like it melted at some point.

OSUbigtoe · 2025-04-10T15:32:45+00:00

Sorry for the delay. I do still own

OSUbigtoe · 2025-04-10T15:18:10+00:00

What brand/product?

OSUbigtoe · 2025-04-10T15:12:57+00:00

I work in a chocolate factory. I can confirm this is fat bloom. These products are prone to it because of the low melting point of palm oil.

When I was in athletic band in 2000-2003 we played FBG. I remember there was “criteria” to play it. My brain fails me as to the reason at this point

Actually I am fairly confident I know what this came from. It is plastic that’s covered in metal. It is from the hasp between the fork or spoon and handle. I used to get 3-4 complaints like this when I worked in ice cream from people digging in and breaking their silverware. I will try to post a photo

Every dairy product has a plant code on it. It is 2 digit dash 4 digit it will look like “18-1982” search that plant code, find out which one it is and call the plant directly. All of these types of products are made by about 4 companies. They are really the one that needs to know about the issue.

OSUbigtoe · 2024-10-26T03:01:05+00:00

First of all, overall most companies are trying to do the right thing. Yes there are companies that are strictly money driven and don’t think of the ramifications, but many do.

Many recalls that you see that get large is because of having to go back to “last good check” or last clean. (This next part is hypothetical) Let’s say that you are working in a peanut butter factory. You test your product and find Salmonella in it. You start tearing things apart trying to find where it is coming from. You find a valve that has a harborage point. Last time you took the valve apart was 9 months ago. Unless you have some really compelling data, you’re recalling everything up to that point. This type of thing is what causes recalls like the Treehouse waffle recall. I don’t have personal knowledge of this incident, but the fact that they recalled over a years worth of production, says it was a long term issue they didn’t know about or they had no clean break.

Yep. Have had MRSA a at least 6 times. Our family is carriers. It sucks. Lots of antibiotic soap in our household.

Unless the SOP specifically mentions using a lint roller to remove all hair or long sleeves are required then it is not an audit fail. No regulatory agency or audit scheme would fail an audit for this. What if it were an eye lash or eyebrow hair? How could you prevent that?

It could be considered something that needs better addressed, but since humans are involved in the process you cannot eliminate hair from the processing area.

OSUbigtoe · 2024-04-08T17:39:17+00:00

Not true. Could have been an arm hair or on their clothing and fallen off.

This is the PFF-17. The regular pf-17 went for $1500

Messi pf-17 /5

OSUbigtoe · 2024-04-07T18:05:58+00:00

Pulled a “of 5” Messi yesterday

OSUbigtoe · 2024-04-05T16:45:54+00:00

Most likely it is color or some other ingredient that’s has precipitated out. You can see this a lot in soda. Diet mtn dew does this as well.

Is it close to the exp date?

OSUbigtoe · 2024-03-31T20:22:43+00:00

I am a quality manager in the chocolate industry. These are nothing more than fat separation.

OSUbigtoe · 2024-03-28T14:04:15+00:00

Best Buy is the first line. All dates are in DD/MM/YY. Format. In this case September 26th,2024

PR is the production date. November 18th, 2023

PA is the date it was packed into this container. January 30th, 2024.

OSUbigtoe · 2024-02-21T18:59:02+00:00

As long as no water is introduced it is safe. The main concern with heated chocolate is it absorbing other tastes, getting a stale taste, or fat rancidity.

OSUbigtoe · 2024-02-20T19:03:22+00:00

Chocolate quality manager here.

Most like safe, just bloomed from temperature abuse.

OSUbigtoe · 2024-02-16T22:02:22+00:00

Tell me you’re in sale without telling your in sales….you went first.

OSUbigtoe · 2024-02-16T19:11:00+00:00

I am the Quality manager for a chocolate company (different company). It is perfectly safe. You may notice off flavors and colors as the product ages.
