This year’s Sweets and Snacks Expo continued the industry’s efforts to emphasize the role chocolate and candy can play in a happy, balanced lifestyle with its Always A Treat initiative. The five-year commitment by America’s leading chocolate and candy companies aims to provide consumers with more information, options and support to enjoy their favorite treats, including a wider variety of pack sizes containing 200 calories or less per pack and a promise to print clear calorie information on the front of 90% of their products.Photograph courtesy of NCA
