Bonumose, a rare sugar maker, has collaborated with Hershey’s to venture into a new $27.2 R&D and manufacturing facility in Virginia, near Charlottesville. The office would offer 64 new job opportunities to potential candidates. The new space would be utilized by Bonumose to discover rare sugars that can be used in snacks. Plus, the company would manufacture low-sugar snacks and confections for Hershey. According to the IRI data, only 6% of candies, gums, and mints are made up of better-for-you ingredients. While FONA Internationals claim that half of the 24 years old consumers want to reduce their sugar intake. This collaboration would offer ethically sourced products that would help consumers reduce their sugar intake.
