Confectionery and snack company Hershey has announced new commitments to increase the visibility of nutrition information and portion options on its products.
As part of the new commitment, Hershey has stated that it will make 50% of its individually wrapped standard and kingsize confectionery products with 200 calories or less by 2020.
In addition, 100% of Hershey standard and kingsize confectionery products will have easy-to-read front-of-pack calorie labels by the end of next year.
“Consumers are at the heart of all that we do and we have been at the forefront of providing the choice and transparency they want,” said Michele Buck, president and chief executive officer at The Hershey Company.
She added: “We aim to delight our consumers and these steps will provide an even wider range of portion options and clear information to help them select treats that fit their lifestyle.”
The company is currently on track to achieve its commitment to source 100% of all the cocoa it purchases globally from certified and sustainable sources by 2020.
