The Swiss chocolate brand indicates that it is “innovative chocolate and non-dairy alternatives, in order to offer a 100% vegan confectionery”. Although milk has been replaced by rice and most of the ingredients are made from plant-based products, Nestlé is trying to reassure its consumers: “The crunchiness of the wafer and the fondantness of the chocolate, much appreciated by the consumer, have been preserved”. For this product, Nestle also wants to reduce its carbon footprint by 18% thanks to this new formula. According to the confectionery company, this demand for vegan products comes from customers. “There is a silent food revolution underway that is changing the way people eat. We want to be at the forefront of this, by championing the discovery of plant-based foods and drinks,” explained Alexander von Maillot, head of confectionery at Nestlé, a few months ago.
