Nestlé announces Kit Kat bar

Nestlé will soon be launching a vegan Kit Kat bar, which is expected to be the first chocolate bar from a major candy brand to be 100% vegan.

A press release on the company’s website announced the move, noting that it was part of the global food brand’s broader efforts to help “people adopt a more plant-based diet, with options across its wide range of foods. ‘food and drink’.

“Taste was a key factor when developing plant-based chocolate for our new vegan KitKat. We have used our ingredient expertise, coupled with a testing and learning approach, to create a delicious vegan alternative to our original KitKat chocolate, ”a Nestlé representative said in the press release.

Several other big candy offerings, including Sour Patch Kids and Twizzlers, are vegan, but making vegan chocolate products has proven difficult for some confectionery companies due to the presence of milk in many chocolate products. Dark chocolate is easier to make according to vegan standards, but some big brands, including Lindt, are not vegan.

“One of the most common requests we see on social media is for a vegan KitKat, so we’re excited to be able to make this wish come true,” Nestlé Confectionery Manager Alexander von Maillot said in the release. hurry. : “I can’t wait for people to try this amazingly tasty new KitKat. It’s a product for anyone who wants a little more herbs in their life!”

The Dietary Recommendations Advisory Committee first recommended in 2015 that a vegan diet or any diet that reduces the amount of animal products a consumer eats or drinks has a lower environmental impact.
