Change From Dairy to Dairy Alternative Initiates Change in Packaging
Berkeley, Calif.-based craft chocolate maker TCHO announced it’s replacing its milk chocolate-based bars with plant-based dairy alternatives and introducing a complete packaging makeover. Six new bars are joining the TCHO line, gradually replacing the remaining supply of TCHO’s milk-chocolate-based bars, like Toffee + Sea Salt and Classic Milk. The company’s colorful and fun new packaging will debut across the entire retail product line to underscore the move to plant-based ingredients, with a commitment to making the entire product line animal free by 2023.
“Reducing our reliance on dairy is one of the quickest ways TCHO can lighten our impact on the environment. While this will not be an easy transition for us, we know it’s the right one,” says Josh Mohr, vice president of marketing at TCHO. “From the beginning, TCHO has been committed to working with our farming partners in the field, improving farming techniques, bettering soil conditions and doing what we can to help minimize deforestation — all of which speaks to a plant-based model.”
