  3. While we await for mandatory GMO labelling (like Europe), innovative companies can generate a sales spike by claiming that their products are “GMO Free”.

    1. That’s very true. And like someone noted – what about the cows that give the milk? What have they been eating all day. I guarantee you they’re no in the alps grazing on fresh grass….more like in feed lots munching on GMO corn…

  4. for one thing ,we will never know ,as there are no labs that would verify that arent funded by industry .it was pretty much a blessing to me that they changed their formula to one with PGPR and what not as i have been truly addicted since early childhood to this brand of chocolate,so much so that i stole for it when i was very young,and could never eat one individual portion,i HAD to have more and absolutely could not control myself when it came to hershey chocolate.nestle,cadbury,or any other brand never had this effect on me or satisfied my craving.but then,they changed the recipe,and after all these years my body rejected it.dont know for certain which particular ingredient was causing the immediate repulsion ,but it didnt even smell the same anymore. it offends me deeply that ,because of the corruption and “law” or lack thereof in the USA ,that their recipe remained unchanged for other countries that wont accept such useless poison in their food yet this company thought nothing of poisoning its american customers with such filth just because they could.that has permanently destroyed all trust in this company and while my chocolate fix remains unsatisfied,i am grateful that i was able to break my addiction to this company long enough that i wont be “relapsing” on their product no matter how “transparent” the ingredients.cant ever be sure how things are sourced anymore,and thats a shame.i am however grateful that children will be less harmed than before ,but this is nothing but a business move,must have been more than just this addict that stopped buying,and if they cared at all they wouldnt have poisoned the formula in the first place in my opinion

    Big whoop. Now if Hershey’s could come up with a chocolate bar that has no milk ingredients in it at all. Why don’t they get with the program? A dark chocolate bar (70% or more) should never contain milk — not if it’s healthy antioxidants you’re looking for.

  6. A couple of years ago I was rolling down the track on a coal train when my conductor said, “hey you want some Hershey’s?” Being human, I said ” of course!” He tossed me a fun size. I opened it and the first thing I noticed was that it bent under the pressure of me fingers. It had gotten warm because it was summer. I found it odd that it had this pliable consistency as opposed to just melting normally. It also had a different mouth feel and taste. This got me thinking and when I got home I referred to the interweb. That’s how I found out about pgpr. I had never heard of it before. That was the last hershey bar that me, my wife or my kids ate. We have had to go with costlier options from our local organics store. I miss Hershey’s though. No other milk chocolate can come close to their perfect balance of sweet and bitter. I, for one, am not an idealist and don’t see anything wrong with this being a “business decision.” What do you think business do? They make profitable decisions. As a matter of fact, it being a business decision is even more encouraging to me and is a sign of change. Any mom and pop company can peddle natural chocolate in health food stores for $3.00 a bar. They are looked at as “good people” because they provide a natural product. But I bet that price point was a “business decision.” For a major player like Hershey’s to see the light and decide that being more natural would be profitable is a great sign of things to come. I will personally be buying Hershey bars for my family if they truly do switch to non GMO organic ingredients and ditch the pgpr.
