If one looks at the Ghiradelli chip products at their web site it's
very clear that the white chips are the only ones that don't say
chocolate in their name, they do not say white chocolate chips, they
only say "white chips"... the other three chip products do say
chocolate. Their white chocolate baking bar does say it contains
cocoa butter. I think the white chips are meant to be a cheap
confection, a novelty product for decoration. sqwertz seems to have
an ongoing problem with not reading labels until after the fact.
