Nestlé to cut sugar levels in its chocolate

Food producer Nestlé claims it has discovered a way to drastically reduce the amount of sugar in its chocolate bars.

In a boost for those with a sweet tooth, the world’s largest food company has said it has developed a method of cutting up to 40% of sugar from its confectionery.

The Swiss company, which makes Aero, Rolos, and KitKat, said it has found a way to structure sugar differently using natural ingredients, so that even when much less is used in chocolate, consumers will barely taste the difference.
