About this deal

Of course, some people will remember the Caramac Easter Egg, produced in 1987. Wow, that was a good one, with beautiful shiny paper and a lovely box with printed characters. Don't fancy a full bar? Caramac buttons are a brilliant alternative and a great cinema or picnic treat. The Ovaltine brand from Novartis Nutrition is best known as a malted drink mix, but has been extended in the past to include functional beverage mixes (Ovaltine Smart), energy drink mixes (Ovaltine Power), biscuits and cereals. Kowloon Dairy has now extended the brand in Hong Kong with two new lines – a liquid malted milk and an ice cream. Both products are flagged “nutritional”, are enriched with multivitamins and minerals, and contain the traditional blend of barley and malt extract. The ice creams come in a box of four single-serve pots. We are very sorry to disappoint fans of Caramac. There has been a steady decline in its sales over the past few years and we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue it.

Nestlé also took millions of gallons from a California creek network for a US water brand, leading the US Forest Service to state “the current water extraction is drying up surface water resources”. Indeed, MunchiesBrand Manager Cat Mews confirmed the move is in response to current consumer trends.Nestlé has courted further widespread criticism for its approach to sourcing its bottled water. In Canada, Nestlé faces boycotts from non-profit The Council of Canadians and indigenous rights organisation Lakota People’s Law Project for extracting water from watersheds that have seen droughts in recent years. Further conflicts between communities and Nestlé over water extraction have occurred in Maine, Michigan and Florida. The company’s US water operations are littered with court cases and lobbying. Can Nestlé reform? Never really liked white chocolate, still don't but had animal bars all the time as a kid,' said a second. Despite the claims that the poster was making it up Nestle replied to their question confirming the news. It told the bakery: "Unfortunately we had to withdraw Caramac from our range as sales were relatively low. It was a difficult decision for us because we're proud of all our products and don't like to disappoint our consumers. To add innovation in the muffin market we have started to see products in the UK based on confectionery and biscuit brands. Past examples include Jaffa Cakes and Galaxy (from Mars). The Yorkie and Rolo chocolate brands from Nestle now also join in. New in the UK are Yorkie and Rolo muffins with chocolate cream centers. Also of interest in the bakery sector in Indonesia are two novel flavored biscuits: tiramisu from Orang Tua; and eggnog from Nissin.

Munchiesare made at Nestlé’s Fawdon factory, near Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. This is the same factory that churns out other familiar brands, including Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, Breakaway, Caramac, Matchmakers, Rolo, Toffee Crisp and Smarties Buttons. Now you know! Nestlé launches a new white chocolate version of its popular range of Munchies confectionery this month. This new variety - Munchies White Chocolate - sees the traditional milk chocolate replaced with white chocolate. White chocolate versions of classics are all the range right now, and you only need to look at social media or the mainstream media to spot the enthusiastic cries of "game changer" and "yum". According to Delish, this announcement makes "All Our Dreams Come True." Munchies are made at Nestlé’s Fawdon factory, near Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, which also makes many other well-loved brands, including Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, Breakaway, Caramac, Matchmakers, Rolo, Toffee Crisp and Smarties Buttons. Sad news for chocolate lovers as 2 fan-favourite bars are to be discontinued – after more than 60 years.Mintel’s Global New Products Database has seen many new food product introductions from around the world in September.

However, many still view Nestlé’s marketing as irresponsible and dangerous. Baby Milk Action has thus been running a UK boycott of Nestlé, since 1988. While Nestlé may have accepted that exclusive breastfeeding for 0-6 months is the best for infant nutrition, the market for formula for 6+ months is growing. Henri Nestlé created his first infant formula from cow’s milk, flour and sugar in Switzerland in 1867. Roughly 100 years later, in 1974, Nestlé baby milk became the subject of an international scandal with the publication of War on Want’s ‘The Baby Killer’, which claimed that it was discouraging breastfeeding through its promotion of breast milk substitutes. Caramac bars are one of the things which many of us remember extremely fondly from our childhoods, and for good reason! These bars were extremely distinctive, with bright colours and bold font covering the front of the bar. That lovely swirly yellow text is enough to set the mouth-watering, and whether or not these were a part of your childhood, we can pretty much guarantee you’ll love them!Biscuits with caramel continue to be a favored combination, both by manufacturers and consumers. Nestle is using the blend to revive two of its brands in the UK – BreakAway biscuit and Caramac caramel chocolate tablet. The new BreakAway Caramac wholemeal digestive biscuits have a 25% caramel flavor coating.

Boycotts were launched against Nestlé in numerous countries. An international marketing code (the ‘WHO Code’) was developed to prevent the comparison of manufactured baby milk with breastmilk. In response to the clamour, Nestlé implemented its own policy based on the code during the 1980s. Nestlé’s own report found 107 instances of non-compliance with its baby milk marketing policy in 2019. A 2019 report from Changing Markets Foundation found that Nestlé was still comparing its own products with human milk. The Bottled Water Boycott The meals market becomes ever more adventurous. New in Germany from Dr Oetker within the Ristorante range is a pizza topped with spaghetti. In the UK, an ethnic touch is being given to burgers. New from Kitchen Range Foods is Mexican Salsa, a meal kit for two comprising salsa flavored beef burgers, chilli flavored bread buns and sachets of hot salsa relish. How about Cadbury’s Caramac? Well, they call it Caramilk, and it causes some mixed opinions. Some people love it, some hate it – perhaps depending on whether or not they’re precious about the original bar! Cadbury’s Caramilk isn’t quite Caramac, in our opinion, but it’s great that there are options out there to suit everyone’s tastes! Munchies has been a popular brand for over 60 years, but we know that consumers love an on-trend twist to a classic too. “Fans couldn’t wait to try Munchies Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Munchies Cookie Dough when they launched last year, and we are sure that White Chocolate Munchies will prove just as popular an addition to the range." Cat Mews, Munchies Brand ManagerUnilever Canada has brought the Brecel Pro-Activ brand from Europe to Canada. This is the cholesterol-reducing margarine that is the same as the US brand Take Control. Becel Pro-Active is widely sold in Europe. I'm not convinced this limited edition version of Munchies is a "game changer". Nestlé's white chocolate is notoriously sweet, and when combined with the sweet caramel and sweet biscuit, this might be a bit too much sugar to handle. Munchies Brand Manager Cat Mews said: “ Munchies has been a popular brand for over 60 years, but we know that consumers love an on-trend twist to a classic too. “Fans couldn’t wait to try Munchies Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Munchies Cookie Dough when they launched last year, and we are sure that white chocolate Munchies will prove just as popular an addition to the range.”
