Yahoo Lifestyle Chocolate Fans Urged to Stock Up After Nestle Reveals Popular Candy Bar to Be Discontinued This Summer
Sticking to a vegetarian or vegan diet is no easy task. It takes hard work and dedication to find ingredients we love to cook with as well as products that fit in with our daily eating habits. When we do find a product that works within the bounds of our diet, we hold on to it like our lives depend on it.
While there are loads of chocolate varieties to choose from, Nestlé is one of the few retail giants that actually offers vegan versions of some of their most popular chocolate brands. But in an unexpected turn of events, fans of Kit Kat Vegan are being urged to stock up on the fan-favorite chocolate bar in preparation of its impending discontinuation this summer.

The cause for the discontinuation is being labeled as “a drop in global demand,” and it officially puts an end to a 4-year run on the market for Kit Kat Vegan. Kit Kat was actually one of the first major chocolate providers to launch a plant-based alternative for chocolate lovers everywhere, and it received widespread enthusiasm in the process.
A spokesperson for Nestlé said, “Unfortunately, global demand has been reducing to the point that production was making manufacturing more and more complex and we have now made the difficult decision to discontinue the product. We know there will be some disappointment, however, it will still be available in the UK and Ireland until the summer.”

Fans of Kit Kat Vegan are understandably upset with the news, but others have taken to social media to express further opinions on the matter.
“Or… change all your KitKat products [to] vegan by removing the 1% dairy.” Another added, “Why do all these billionaire companies take away products because of declining sales... Aren't they making enough??” On Facebook, one disappointed fan wrote, “worst day of my life,” which should really drive home how beloved Kit Kat Vegan actually was with fans.
If you plan on stocking up on Kit Kat Vegan ahead of this summer's discontinuation, your options are pretty slim depending on where you live. As of now, fans can grab a single 1.46-ounce bar on Amazon for $7.95, or a 24-bar pack for $73.80. You can also find them available for purchase online at Walmart or overseas in the UK should you be planning a trip this year.
