28 Aug 2019 --- The Hershey Company is strengthening its position in the snacks space by entering into a definitive agreement to acquire ONE Brands, LLC, the maker of a line of low-sugar, high-protein nutrition bars. The US$397 million deal extends Hershey’s better-for-you brand portfolio and closely follows the chocolate giant’s minority investments in emerging snacking businesses. Last week, Hershey invested in Fulfil Nutrition and Blue Stripes Cacao Shop as part of the company’s on-going strategy to better cater for consumers’ growing preference for healthier options.
