Award-winning probiotic chocolate brand, Ohso, has announced it has launched its range of low-calorie chocolate bars on Ocado, the UK’s high-end online grocery retailer.

Carefully crafted using the finest quality and sustainably sourced ingredients, Ohso offers ‘chocolate-lovers’ a low-calorie, portion-controlled way to enjoy their daily dose of Belgian chocolate. Each pack contains x7 (13.5g) individually wrapped bars which are microencapsulated with over a billion live cultures (commonly known as probiotics) to boost gut health.

Ohso’s range of gut-friendly chocolate bars on the Ocado platform include: Dark (54% cocoa); Orange (54% cocoa); Dark No-Added Sugar (70% cocoa); Raspberry No Added-Sugar (70% cocoa). All products are suitable for vegetarians, gluten-free, nut safe with no added dairy.

Studies have shown that probiotics help to balance the friendly bacteria in the gut which promotes digestive health and boosts the immune system.

Andrew Marten, founder of Ohso said: “At Ohso, we’re passionate about offering our consumers delicious, high-quality chocolate that can be enjoyed in a healthy way whilst boosting their digestive health! Following a rise in demand, we’re thrilled that such a prominent online grocery retailer like Ocado will be stocking the Ohso range​.”

Marten told ConfectioneryNews the launch into Ocado is part of Ohso’s wider retail strategy designed to reach out to a large audience of consumers who are increasingly interested in making healthier choices for their lifestyle.
