National Retail Federation reports that consumers are eating less candy this Halloween, but don’t worry — candy is not going out of style. Hershey’s, the nation’s most recognized name in chocolate, is nearing its goal of 100% organic, sustainably sourced candy, the culmination of nearly two years of effort due largely to public input. Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars, Hershey’s Kisses and Milk Chocolate Drops, now contain no artificial flavors, no-gmo ingredients and sourced dairy products without growth hormones and antibiotics. Hershey’s candy is one of the most affordable organic options for Halloween.
By early 2017 Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate, Mr. Goodbar Milk Chocolate Bars, Krackel Chocolate Bars and Hershey’s Miniatures Assortment will hit shelves without artificial ingredients.
