10% less sugar on Kit Kats Nestle has announced
Which is a good thing, obviously, but we hate change. And we love chocolate.
So we’re going to take a while to process Nestle’s decision to snatch our sugary, delicious chocolate away from us.
The brand has said that the sugar will be replaced with higher quantities of other existing ingredients or other, non-artificial ingredients, and efforts will be made to keep both chocolate bars below a certain amount of calories (the amount has not yet been specified).
Nestle said that by 2018, they hope to be using 7,500 tonnes less sugar to make their products. They believe that this could have a significant impact on public health.
And considering our daily Kit Kat habit, they’re probably right.
Fiona Kendrick, the chairman and CEO of Nestle UK and Ireland, said: ‘Our confectionery brands have been enjoyed in the UK for more than a century and we know that if we can improve these products nutritionally, provide more choice and information for the consumer… we can have a significant impact on public health.
‘Making these improvements to our products is key to us delivering better choices for our consumers while retaining the same great taste that they know and love.’
