Hershey chocolate bar is rejected as chocolate because it doesn't have enough cocoa and is contaminated with lead.
Hershey's milk chocolate contains around 11% cocoa solids, meaning it doesn't meet the European standard according to some sources. Therefore, in some European countries, Hershey's is labeled as "chocolate-flavored" or "chocolate-flavored candy bar" rather than simply "chocolate".
