Greetings again, Please accept our apologies for the delayed response as we are still awaiting an answer to your question regarding the coconut truffles as they are manufactured overseas. We do, however, have answers for the other four truffles. The hazelnut truffles DO use alcohol as a flavor solvent. Our White, Milk and Peanut Butter truffles do NOT. Once we hear back from our quality team regarding the coconut truffles, we will be sure to pass that information along to you. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our products. We appreciate your business and your loyalty to the Lindt brand. Yours sincerely, Lindt & Sprüngli (USA) Inc.

Dear Rasheed,
Thank you for your previous contact with Godiva about the specific ingredients in our products.
To answer your questions:
1.) Is natural flavor vanilla flavor or other flavor such as chocolate flavor?
Natural flavor can refer to just one flavor or more than one natural flavors. Many times we are using vanilla flavor but we also use other flavors for our Godiva flavor creation.
2.) Is alcohol used as a solvent in flavor?
Yes, ethyl alcohol is used as a solvent/carrier in some of our natural flavors while others may use propylene glycol, triglycerides or other.
You may notice that many of our products have a halal symbol immediately following the ingredient statement. Where the halal symbol appears,
it means that all candy pieces in that container contain < 0.1% alcohol to conform to requirements of our Halal certifying agency.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Crystal
