Nestlé launches Vegan KitKat in Ireland.

There’s a new plant-based way to have a break, as Nestlé Ireland have launched the vegan KitKat, which features smooth chocolate blended with plant-based ingredients to perfectly balance the brand’s trademark crisp wafer.

KitKat Vegan was developed by chocolatiers and food scientists at Nestlé’s Research and Development centre in England, the original home of KitKat. The team worked hard to design a vegan alternative that would live up to the high expectations of KitKat lovers everywhere.

Maria McKenna, Confectionery Marketing Manager, Nestlé Ireland says “There is a quiet food revolution underway that is changing how people eat. We want to be at the forefront of that, championing the discovery of plant-based food and beverages. What better proof of that than offering a plant-based version of one of our oldest and most famous brands? The new KitKat V means people can enjoy a delicious vegan option when they have a break.”

Nestlé is helping people embrace more plant-based food, with options across its wide range of food and beverages. Aside from plant-based food, Nestlé has also launched dairy-free coffee mixes and last year introduced Carnation Vegan condensed milk.

KitKat Vegan is available now nationwide!

WaterWipes® reveals study that finds the Irish brand is the number one wipe against nappy rash.

Earlier this summer, a midwife-led study conducted by the University of Salford (UK) showed that baby wipes with fewer ingredients (WaterWipes®) reduced nappy rash compared to other leading brands. KÁNO, together with Irish brand WaterWipes®, amplified the impressive study findings to Irish media and Irish mothers and fathers alike, alerting them to the news and the No 1. claim. The study campaign was strengthened by influencer support from the likes of Rosanna Davison, Michelle Regazzoli-Stone and Caroline Foran, as well as GP and mother of 2 Dr Laura Lenihan.

The first of its kind, the ‘Baby Skin Integrity Comparison Survey’ (BaSICS) by the University of Salford, compared the occurrence and duration of nappy rash on newborns with two other leading brands of baby wipes that were randomly allocated to almost 700 mums. It revealed that babies cleansed with WaterWipes® are less likely to get nappy rash and, if they do, it doesn’t last as long compared to other leading brands.

The results highlighted that WaterWipes®­­, the world’s purest baby wipes, are helping parents care for their baby’s sensitive skin, while providing parents the reassurance they are giving their little ones the most gentle and effective clean. Other brands in the study are marketed as mild and gentle enough for newborn skin but are formulated with more ingredients compared to WaterWipes®.
