Terms

HEKNO Ltd, registered in Scotland under company number SC895711. Registered office: Borthwick Farm Cottage, Gorebridge, EH23 4QZ, United Kingdom.

ChocolateHQ is a reference. It is provided for general information and is not professional advice of any kind.

Nothing on this site is health advice, dietary advice, medical advice or veterinary advice.

The health section describes what evidence exists and what it does not establish. If you are managing a health condition, speak to a clinician. If an animal has eaten chocolate, contact a vet — that page tells you to call rather than giving you a dose table, and that is deliberate.

Considerable effort goes into accuracy, and every factual claim carries its confidence and its sources. That is a statement about method rather than a warranty. Food law changes, production practice changes, and the evidence base moves. Records carry a last-reviewed date so you can see how current a given statement is, and sources and evidencesets out the site’s present limitations openly.

Where a legal minimum or a regulatory position matters to you, read the instrument itself for your jurisdiction. This site names the instruments precisely so that you can.

The text, structure and data on this site belong to HEKNO Ltd. Short quotation with attribution and a link is fine. Bulk extraction of the catalogue is not.

Licensing enquiries: licensing@hekno.co.uk.

The site is provided as it is. To the extent permitted by law, HEKNO Ltd is not liable for loss arising from reliance on it. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, where the law does not permit that limitation.

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland, and the courts of Scotland have jurisdiction.
