The named editor behind this field guide, the research method the pages are actually built from, and an explicit list of the qualifications this author does not hold.
A reference work with no author is a reference work with no one to correct.
Abhishek Jaimini is the editor and researcher behind The Chocolate Atlas. The work is the synthesis of primary standards, peer-reviewed literature and institutional datasets into scoped, cited explanations — not laboratory, veterinary or clinical practice. Every page on this site is written, sourced and reviewed under that name, and every correction goes to the same address.
These four habits are what the byline is claiming. They are the whole of it — no field access, no laboratory and no privileged industry information is implied.
Composition rules, allergen wording and contaminant limits are taken from the instrument itself — Codex standards, the EU chocolate and cocoa directives, FDA guidance, FSSAI regulations — rather than from a secondary summary. Where two jurisdictions disagree, the page says which one it is describing instead of blending them into an average that governs nowhere.
A physiological or compositional figure is only useful with the unit, the basis it was measured against and the range around it. Where published values vary between products or studies, the range is printed rather than a single tidy number that implies a precision the evidence does not have.
Nothing here reports a bar personally tasted, a farm visited or a batch measured. Flavour language is a vocabulary for a reader's own attention. Origin notes are written as prompts, and the difference between a prompt and a promise is treated as a factual distinction rather than a stylistic one.
Where the 47 records on the research desk cannot support a claim, the claim is not made. An unresolved question is written as unresolved. This costs the site confident sentences and is the reason its narrower ones can be trusted.
On the topics where a reader might act on a number — a dose, a limit, a symptom — the more useful disclosure is the list of qualifications not held. It is printed here rather than buried in a footer.
No laboratory work, no analytical measurement and no formulation experience stands behind these pages. Where composition or crystallisation is explained, the explanation is drawn from published research and standards, and it is cited so you can check it against the original.
The theobromine and pet-safety material summarises published veterinary toxicology for general understanding. It cannot assess an animal, and it is not a substitute for calling a vet or a poison control line, which is what an actual exposure requires.
Material on cocoa flavanols, caffeine and intake summarises authorised claims and published reviews. It is general education. It is not medical or dietary advice and it is not tailored to any individual, condition, pregnancy or medication.
Research, drafting and editing here are AI-assisted, against a collected source packet, and checked line by line by a human before publication. That disclosure is permanent and is described in full on the editorial method page.
