Hershey is the latest company to announce a switch to non-GMO ingredients. The company announced it intends to remove genetically-modified ingredients from its Milk Chocolate and Kisses by the end of 2015.
In a release, the company said they are “looking to formulate new products and transition existing products to deliver on no artificial flavors, no synthetic colors, no high fructose corn-syrup, and to be gluten-free.” The company says it will switch from using GM sugar beets to cane sugar and will shift to a non-GMO soy lecithin.
According to ConfectionaryNews.com, the company will also transition to natural vanilla, non-GM sugar, and milk from cows that have not been treated with rBST for its Hershey’s Milk Chocolate and Kisses.
