联合王国Nestlé rebrands Toffe Crisp和Blue Riband bars因可可含量低而成为非巧克力, Nestlé rebrands Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband bars in the UK as non-chocolate due to low cocoa content, citing rising costs.

Nestlé不再将Toffee Crisp和Blue Riband bars标为英国的巧克力, Nestlé has stopped labeling its Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband bars as chocolate in the UK after reformulating them with less than 20% cocoa and milk solids, the legal threshold for milk chocolate, due to rising cocoa costs. 这种变化是由西非收成差和创纪录的成分价格驱动的,它用“牛奶巧克力口味涂料”取代了真正的巧克力。 The change, driven by poor harvests in West Africa and record ingredient prices, replaces real chocolate with a "milk chocolate flavour coating." 该公司说,在McVitie的母体Pladis采取类似行动之后,重新配制经过了感官测试,不会影响其他产品。 The company says the reformulations were sensory-tested and won’t affect other products, following similar moves by McVitie’s parent Pladis. 英国巧克力价格逐年上涨18.4%,反映出成分减少和在通货膨胀压力下重塑品牌的行业大趋势。 Chocolate prices in Britain rose 18.4% year-on-year, reflecting broader industry trends of ingredient reductions and rebranding amid inflationary pressures.
