Excellent news for the vegan and plant-based communities: the craze will soon be coming to some stores worldwide as Nestle is launching a vegan KitKat bar, according to ABC News<\/a>. The chocolate candy bar, named KitKat V, will be made using 100 percent sustainable cocoa and is certified vegan.<\/p>\n

The option will still be true to the popular KitKat bar \u2014 chocolate along with a crispy wafer, company officials say. Nestle said the move is a natural progression especially given the times.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemand for plant-based food is growing everywhere,\u201d Alexander von Maillot, head of Nestle\u2019s confectionery business, said, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. \u201cKitKat was a logical choice, as it\u2019s by far the biggest brand and a global brand.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nestle has already begun manufacturing plant-based alternatives to dairy using products including rice, oat, soy, coconut, pea and almonds. KitKat V uses a rice-based formula instead of dairy. It took researchers a couple of years to develop the vegan chocolate bar.<\/p>\n

The KitKat V will initially only be available at the Swiss-based company\u2019s boutique KitKat Chocolatory shops and also via some select stores online as part of its test run.\u00a0The KitKat was originally developed and the vegan research was done in York, England, so it will also be sold in Great Britain. It will also be available in several countries \u201cacross the globe,” but company officials are not yet providing specifics.<\/p>\n

However, KitKat V will not readily be available in the U.S. This is despite the fact KitKat is produced here under a licensing agreement with Hershey’s. Fingers crossed for more sweet news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
