NEW YORK — Hershey wants to keep the ingredients list on two of its famous chocolates short and sweet.
The candy company said this week that its milk chocolate Hershey’s Kisses and bars are now being made with flavor from real vanilla instead of an artificial flavor.
The change is the first part of The Hershey Co.’s previously announced plans to use simpler ingredients. Many food companies are removing artificial flavors, colors and ingredients to please consumers demanding less processed foods.
Hershey said the updated chocolates started shipping a few weeks ago and are at stores — or will be — as they restock their shelves.
