			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kraft Foods is raising the bar in snacking with its new KRAFT MILKBITE Milk &amp; Granola Bars. Found in the refrigerated dairy aisle, each KRAFT MILKBITE Bar combines real milk with whole grain granola and other tasty and nutritious ingredients like fruit or roasted nuts, while providing the same calcium as an 8 oz. glass of milk. A wholesome alternative to existing bars, KRAFT MILKBITE Bars are a deliciously different snacking experience the entire family can enjoy.</p>
<p>&#8220;With MILKBITE, we saw an opportunity to change the status quo and introduce milk into snacking in a whole new way,&#8221; saidMichelle Lorge, Senior Brand Manager, KRAFT MILKBITE. &#8220;By combining real milk and other wholesome ingredients, we designed MILKBITE to help satisfy the demand for snack options that are better for you and also taste great.&#8221;</p>
<p>KRAFT MILKBITE Milk &amp; Granola Bars are made with real milk and calcium, making them an excellent source of calcium with 30% of the daily recommended value.<em> </em>They are also a good source of vitamin D and fiber, include protein (5g), and whole grains (7g), and do not contain any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Available in five delicious flavors – Chocolate, Strawberry, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Raisin and Mixed Berry – KRAFT MILKBITE Milk &amp; Granola Bars are a great way to snack at home, school, work or on-the-go.</p>
<p>Consumers will be introduced to KRAFT MILKBITE Milk &amp; Granola Bars via a national advertising campaign created by Droga5New York. The integrated campaign includes TV commercials and a strong digital presence featuring a new brand mascot, &#8220;Mel the MILKBITE,&#8221; developed in conjunction with Jim Henson&#8217;s Creature Shop. Mel is a humble KRAFT MILKBITE Bar – part milk, part granola – stuck in an existential crisis. As Mel searches to understand his identity, viewers are invited along for the ride, witnessing Mel on a blind date, at a book club meeting, in conversation with his parents, and video blogging from the dairy aisle.</p>
<p>KRAFT MILKBITE Milk &amp; Granola Bars can be found in the refrigerated dairy aisle for a suggested retail price of $3.49.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WONKA today announced it will no longer produce WONKA Exceptionals chocolates in order to divert resources to secret chocolate projects by the famed candy maker. WONKA chocolate fans may still be able to find their favorite WONKA Exceptionals at their local retailers, but supplies are running low.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We know many chocolate fans are saddened to hear that WONKA is discontinuing production of the delicious Exceptionals chocolate line this year. So we are notifying fans to give them an opportunity to stock up on their favorite chocolates, like Scrumdiddlyumptious and Triple Dazzle Caramel, before they’re all gone”</p></blockquote>
<p>After recent rumors that enthusiastic WONKA chocolate fans nationwide, including notable celebrities, were stock-piling what remains of “the world’s most incomparably imaginative chocolate,” WONKA confirmed that it was reconfiguring the factory’s chocolate room for secret chocolate projects. WONKA announced today to fans that this would be the last chance to enjoy the truly amazing WONKA Exceptionals chocolates made with natural ingredients like scrumptious toffee, sea salt, buttery caramel, creamy fudge, and rich milk chocolate.</p>
<p>“We know many chocolate fans are saddened to hear that WONKA is discontinuing production of the delicious Exceptionals chocolate line this year. So we are notifying fans to give them an opportunity to stock up on their favorite chocolates, like Scrumdiddlyumptious and Triple Dazzle Caramel, before they’re all gone,” said WONKA spokesperson Tricia Bowles. “However, we’re happy to share that exciting new chocolate concoctions are in development and hope our fans will stay tuned for more chocolate news in the near future.”</p>
<p>Fans have reported that WONKA Exceptionals chocolate is quickly disappearing from store shelves and have spotted celebrity enthusiasts stocking up on cases of WONKA Chocolate. Quickly becoming scarce, WONKA Chocolate will be a sought after Valentine’s Day treat for a special someone who wants something rare and in demand. More than ever, the remaining bars of WONKA Exceptionals are sure to make any chocolate-lover’s heart melt – if you can get your hands on one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) today announced that three of its manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania have achieved “Zero-Waste-to-Landfill“ (ZWL) status as a result of the company’s ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability through recycling and waste management. Two of the facilities are in Hershey, Pa., and the third is in Hazleton, Pa.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We achieved ZWL at these facilities through a rigorous process of eliminating waste, recycling and converting waste to energy. Our employees understand the importance of sustainability across our company and are working together to reach our reduction goals.”</p></blockquote>
<p>“We are proud of our role as stewards of the environment and of our progress in eliminating waste from our operations,” said Terence O’Day, Senior Vice President of Global Operations at The Hershey Company. “We achieved ZWL at these facilities through a rigorous process of eliminating waste, recycling and converting waste to energy. Our employees understand the importance of sustainability across our company and are working together to reach our reduction goals.”</p>
<p>Zero Waste to Landfill means that routine manufacturing waste has been eliminated from landfill disposal. The company’s Hazleton plant achieved ZWL status this month. The West Hershey plant became a ZWL facility in October 2011. In addition, the $200 million to $225 million expansion of the West Hershey facility, announced in June 2010, is a Zero-Waste-to-Landfill construction project and the new addition will be ZWL upon completion later this year. In 2010, the Reese plant, also located in Hershey, Pa., achieved ZWL status. These plants recycle approximately 90 percent of the waste generated from operations and the remainder is converted to energy at nearby waste-to-energy incinerators located in Bainbridge,<strong> </strong>Pa., and Harrisburg, Pa.</p>
<p>The Hershey Company continues to improve its recycling and energy efficiency programs at all of its U.S. plants. The company has added biogas capturing equipment at four of its U.S. facilities: Stuarts Draft, Va.; Lancaster, Pa.; Hazleton, Pa.; and Robinson, Ill. The equipment captures biogas produced through onsite wastewater treatment and converts it to energy, decreasing the company’s reliance on fossil fuels.</p>
<p>The Hershey Company has a long history of environmental sustainability programs as part of its commitment to social responsibility. Company founder Milton Hershey started the company’s first recycling center in Hershey in 1937, long before recycling and reducing waste were common practices. Last year, Hershey unveiled two sets of solar arrays at facilities in Hershey, Pa., that generate an estimated 318 megawatt-hours (MWh) per year and will eliminate hundreds of metric tons of greenhouse gases each year. In 2009, the company committed to reducing its green house gas emissions by 15 percent by the end of 2011 based on 2008 emission levels and is on track to achieve this goal by the end of the year.</p>
