To support consumers who are looking for vegan-friendly confections, Barry Callebaut launched new dairy-free chocolate products, including a Dairy-Free Plant-Based High Protein Coating. The new release from the chocolate and cocoa manufacturer contains 20% protein from pea protein as the main source.
During the BC LIVE webinar series, Barry Callebaut also introduced a new Plant Craft Dairy-Free "Milk-Like" Chocolate with the same consumer segment in mind. These new products have the potential to be integrated into products that are meant to appeal to the vegan, keto and paleo consumers who are searching for functional, better-for-you confections.
Quickly, vegan chocolate is moving into the mainstream, as seen with a variety of unique new dairy-free chocolate bars, baking chips, snacks and beyond.
