Hershey’s first plant-based chocolate bar now in Canada

For those who enjoy or wish to try vegan chocolate, Hershey Canada announced that consumers can now enjoy the chocolate-maker’s first-ever plant-based offering, Hershey’s Oat Made chocolate bars.

It will come in two flavours: Creamy & Almond and Sea Salt.

“Hershey’s Oat Made bars are everything you love about milk chocolate…except the milk," says Carly Cowman, brand manager, Hershey Canada. "Our product development team did an unbelievable job at delivering the smooth and creamy texture that we know Canadians love."

Made using oat flour in lieu of dairy, these new bars are 100% vegan, non-GMO Project Verified and have no artificial flavours.

"The plant-based category continues to see incredible growth, and today, one in four Canadians are actively seeking more plant-based options in their diets," adds Cowman. "Whether you're a vegan or vegetarian, or simply looking for more choice in the chocolate aisle, Hershey’s Oat Made bars offer an amazing and delicious alternative that don't compromise on flavour."

The bars are now available in the confectionary aisle in major grocery retailers across Canada.
