Chinanews client, Beijing, August 3 (Reporter Wu Tao) Recently, some netizens questioned Menglong’s “dual-label” behavior. The materials used in China and foreign countries are different: the outer chocolate should come from Belgian cocoa butter, just like other regions. But the domestic version has a large proportion of artificial vegetable cream and only a small amount of milk powder.
Menglong belongs to the Heluxue sub-brand and belongs to Unilever.
According to Unilever's official website, Dream Dragon has selected 100% imported Belgian chocolates.
The reporter noticed that on multiple e-commerce platforms, Menglong promotional posters also showed that the crispy skin outside Menglong was 100% Belgian chocolate.

However, the "game discount information" certified by Weibo as a well-known blogger stated that the European-produced Menglong is made of milk, but not in China; the first place in the ingredient list is "water", so be careful. 80% of its ice cream is planted fat.
"Drinking water" ranks first in the Menglong ingredient list.

The reporter found that many e-commerce platforms did not include "milk" or "milk" in the list of ingredients for Menglong. The first place was "drinking water", and "vegetable oil" was also included in the ingredients.
Menglong and its affiliated companies and Lu Xue did not respond to this.
In addition, some consumers pointed out that many so-called chocolate crisps (crispy bars) such as Yili Joules and Bitter Coffee, the first in the list of ingredients is also "drinking water", and the crispy ingredients include "edible vegetable oil, white sugar, Cocoa powder, whole milk powder" etc.

However, Qiao Lezi is much cheaper than Menglong. According to a self-operated flagship store of Yili, an e-commerce platform, it is about 5.9 yuan per unit, while Menglong has shown on multiple e-commerce platforms that the price of each unit is almost 10 yuan (non- Mini outfit).
Some analysts pointed out that the main purpose of replacing milk fat with vegetable oil is to reduce costs.
Netizens exposed the substitution of more expensive milk fat with vegetable oil on the market.

"Game discount information" also said, "If you go to the supermarket and you will find that cheaper vegetable oil is used to replace the more expensive milk fat, it is common for the "chocolate flavor" to be cocoa butter substitutes. More and more products have joined this rank."
Do all chocolate ice creams use vegetable oil instead of milk fat?
The reporter found in the ingredients of some sorbet such as "Zhongjie 1946" Banqiao, there is no vegetable oil, drinking water, etc., but pure milk, cocoa liquor, etc.
"In fact, we can accept the use of vegetable oil instead of milk fat, but we must consume it plainly and don't deceive us. It is suspected of false propaganda to say that we use imported chocolate." Many netizens said, "We have to say goodbye and stop eating." .
What do you think, do you still eat Menglong?
