Areas of Chocolate missing on visible aspects of dates
Chocolate bloom – a whitish coating that appears on the surface of the chocolate. [Chocolate that has "bloomed" is still safe to eat (as it is a non-perishable food due to its sugar content), but may have an unappetizing appearance and surface texture].

Send date piece back for chocolate coating or addition of gold leaf
If patchy areas of chocolate are missing the processed date is to be discarded via the Food waste bins
