A new variety of Wella Bar, Cashew Cacao & Chaga, was launched in 2019. It has a number of “on-trend” characteristics such as the need for a refrigerated distribution chain (thus avoiding the need for emulsifiers), plant-based proteins and chaga mushrooms. This product was scheduled to be on the Protein Product Sampling station during the 2020 Protein Trends & Technologies Seminar’s Technology Program: Formulating with Proteins

COMMENTS FROM PRODUCT WEBSITE: “A bar is so decadent you won’t believe you’re eating chaga mushrooms! We amped it up with brown rice protein to ensure that you’re satiated long after the last bite.”
*Chaga is a mushroom that grows on the bark of birch trees in cool Northern climates. This antioxidant-rich adaptogenic super mushroom has been used in folk medicine for centuries, prized for its immune supporting and anti-aging properties.
