Hershey

Hershey, a $42 billion Pennsylvania-based chocolate company, is currently newsworthy due to accusations from Brad Reese, the grandson of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups inventor, H.B. Reese. Brad Reese alleges that Hershey has not followed through on a pledge to revert to original milk and dark chocolate recipes for its products, including KitKat. He claims the company is using inferior ingredients, stating the peanut butter in Reese's cups is not 'real'. This confectionary dispute, which began in February, highlights potential conflicts between the company's current practices and the legacy of its iconic brands. While not directly related, the news articles also mention a researcher leaving the US for China, which is unrelated to Hershey.
