HERSHEY, Pa. – The Hershey Company announced its plans to move forward with rolling out a new Nutrition Facts panel, despite the FDA’s recent delay of the original July 2018 deadline. Products with the new label will begin hitting shelves this fall.

This is the latest action taken by Hershey as part of the company’s greater commitment to choice and transparency, which includes the development of the SmartLabel and a commitment to make 50% of its standard- and king-sized confections 200 calories or less by 2022.

The company notes on a blog post that updating its Nutrition Facts panel is part of Hershey’s commitment to making it easier for people to access more information about their food so they can make informed choices.

As Hershey rolls out these new nutrition and ingredient transparency tools, the company is starting with Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates, which will hit store shelves this fall with new packaging featuring the new Nutrition Facts panel, Facts Up Front calorie label and SmartLabel QR codes. All new Hershey products will also launch with these new labeling features.
