According to a recent report, ethical claims such as Fair Trade certified brands are up 74 percent from 2010 to 2014.

This revised packaging will be available on shelves starting in June 2015.

“Our goal is to provide the best snacking chocolate experience by making a product that is big on taste and simple on ingredients,” said Michael Parisi, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Our consumer is seeking out foods that have clean yet responsible ingredients which is why we made it a focus to highlight our certifications and introduce our new packaging at this year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo.”
