Lindt has announced an upcoming United States release for its vegan oat milk chocolate bars. These bars were released in 2021 in both the U.K and Canadian markets, and were received well across both regions. The vegan oat milk chocolate bars are available in original, salted caramel, and hazelnut. However, it is important to note that only the original and salted caramel varieties will be available in the United States at launch.
The Lindt vegan original and vegan salted caramel chocolate bars are sold in individually-wrapped, 100-gram packages at an MSRP of $5.99 CAD, or approximately $4.60 USD. According to Lindt, the vegan oat milk-based chocolate bars feature the "same great taste" as the non-vegan chocolate bars that the brand is famous for.
