Hershey

The chocolate king says it will remove GMOs from Hershey’s Milk Chocolate and Kisses by the end of 2015. It also plans to swap genetically modified sugar beet to cane sugar and will switch to a non-GM soy lecithin for the brands. Hershey also said it will remove the emulsifier polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) and artificial vanillin from products.

The company is also introducing “simple snacking products” without high-fructose corn syrup or artificial colors and flavors.
