How is dark chocolate separated into accurate percentages?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) January 14th, 2011

If I buy a bar of 70% dark chocolate, (which I oft do!) what is the other 30%? Is there any chocolate in that 30%? Is that the percentage of cacao?

Is there a set of rules governing this sort of labeling?

Why don’t most milk chocolates get a percentage label?

What gives?
