NOMO introduces first ever nut free ‘Hazelnot’ chocolate bar

UK free-from chocolate brand NOMO has launched the first ever nut free ‘Hazelnot Crunch Choc Bar’.

According to research conducted by Kinnerton, the makers of NOMO, 78% of people with a nut allergy say they avoid certain foods because of the fear it may contain nuts, and 71% say they often feel left out of social gatherings because of their allergy.

Therefore, NOMO’s new bar has been created so that nobody with a nut allergy or intolerance need miss out on good chocolate – and they can also enjoy the taste and texture of hazelnuts without fear.

The Hazelnot Crunch Choc Bar is also, like the wider NOMO product range, completely vegan and free from dairy, gluten, and eggs. The free-from sharing block is made from sustainably sourced, quality ingredients.

Emma Perrett, senior innovation and brand manager of Kinnerton Confectionery, said: “Ensuring that no one misses out is the corner stone of our brand and one of the reasons we have gone to such extraordinary lengths to create a Nut Free Hazelnot choc bar. We know that some people can’t enjoy great tasting nut chocolate, and that all consumers should have a variety of choice and flavour at every occasion.

“One of our aims at NOMO is to develop mainstream flavours that we know customers will love regardless of whether they are vegan or have a food allergy and so we are delighted to offer this new delicious nut flavoured, but completely nut free, chocolate to the market.”

NOMO’s Hazelnot Crunch Choc Bar is available from Asda for an RRP of £2.00.
