Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband no longer called ‘chocolate’ after recipe change
AI Summary
Nestlé has reformulated the recipes for Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband bars, meaning they can no longer be legally labelled as "chocolate" in the UK. The change, implemented due to rising ingredient costs, involves using more vegetable fat and less cocoa, resulting in a "milk chocolate flavour coating" instead of milk chocolate. UK regulations require a minimum percentage of cocoa and milk solids for a product to be classified as milk chocolate, which the reformulated bars no longer meet. The company states that the altered recipes were carefully tested and that there are no current plans to change other chocolate products. This decision follows similar changes by other manufacturers, such as McVitie's, and reflects a broader trend of increasing chocolate prices driven by poor cocoa harvests and climate-related issues.
