Nestlé provides entertaining information on social media in the "Veganuary" about the positive impact of plant-based nutrition on the climate

The "KitKat Vegan" bar from the Nestlé Chocolate factory in Hamburg

A plant-based diet tastes good and helps to significantly reduce the ecological footprint of the individual. Nestlé is demonstrating this vividly with fun short videos on its own social media channels during vegan month of the year. Nestlé is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050 - from field to store. A growing range of plant-based products is helping the food manufacturer on its path to "green zero."
Vegan KitKat bar also on sale from January in new multipack format
Since its German debut in the fall, KitKat Vegan has been on the shelves as a limited edition single bar. Now the vegan version of the iconic chocolate bar can be found in supermarkets nationwide as a three-bar multipack.
The plant-based version of the cult bar looks like the well-known classic. The taste experience that KitKat fans appreciate also comes with the vegan-certified bar. The new chocolate relies on vegan ingredients instead of dairy products in the recipe. As a result, the carbon footprint of KitKat Vegan is 18% lower than that of the milk chocolate variant.[1] The carbon reduction has been certified by the Carbon Trust organization. The cocoa for KitKat Vegan comes from 100% sustainable sourcing through the Nestlé Cocoa Plan and is Rainforest Alliance certified.
The Nestlé Chocolate factory in Hamburg manufactures the new bar. The recommended retail price for the single bar is €1.49 and €3.49 for the multipack.

Vegan asparagus season with Thomy
