Nestle South Africa has confirmed that it has discontinued production of Chocolate Log which has been tantalizing South African taste buds for over 50 years.
Cape Town Etc reports the news first hit social media when a speciality food supplier, Aubergine Speciality Foods which supplies South African delicacies for those in Canada, posted on Facebook that the beloved chocolate treat will no longer be available.
Nestle has since confirmed that the much loved chocolate will be discontinued.
“As Nestlé, our purpose is to delight our consumers through tastier and healthier products. We know that one of the main drivers of the chocolate category is innovation and that consumers love new products. Taking this into consideration, we do discontinue certain products and introduce new ones to the market.”
Chocolate Log, which is made with a marshmallow centre sitting on a crisp wafer and covered in chocolate, has been a favourite of many South Africans.
While the news did not go down well with many people, Nestle says the company understands that Chocolate Log’s discontinuation may somehow disappoint local consumers adding that South Africans have new exciting offerings to look forward to as they plan on bringing out a variety of new chocolates in the coming months.
