Ezaki Glico Libera functional chocolate (Japan)
Ezaki Glico has launched what it calls its first venture into functional chocolate confectionery with the brand Libera in a 50 g pack. The milk chocolate brand is fortified with indigestible dextrin and dietary fibers, which the company claims helps suppress the absorption of ingested sugars and fat. Ezaki Glico said in a release it “will continue to contribute to the expansion of the functional chocolate market”.
