This new Mondelēz International chocolate bar technology has been developed by the brand as a way to help it create treats with lower levels of fat, sugar and calories.
The technology could, according to the brand, reduce sugar and fat by as much as 75% from its chocolate and biscuit products. The technology was developed by the brand's food scientists, researchers and more. The process is said to replace the removed fat, sugar and calories with plant-based fibers without losing any flavor or texture.
European Lead Nutrition Strategy and Communications Rimi Obra-Ratwatte commented on the Mondelēz International chocolate bar technology saying, "Creating treats which are non-HFSS has taken years of careful development, and it is a proud moment to have new technology that can help evolve our portfolio with new products which further enable consumers to treat and snack in a more mindful way."
