Hershey's Price Hike Explained
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Hershey Company plans on raising its prices to cope with the "unprecedented" costs of cocoa. The company, known for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup as well as its signature milk chocolate and Hershey's Kisses, confirmed the change to various media outlets this week. Hershey said that persistently high cocoa prices had forced it to raise prices by a "lower double-digit" percentage. Newsweek has contacted the company via its website outside of regular business hours for comment. Why It Matters Hershey is one of the largest chocolate companies in the U.S. by both market share and sales, which reached over $11.2 billion last year. But global cocoa prices have rocketed in recent years due to a worldwide supply shortage stemming from a combination of factors including weather conditions and disease outbreaks in West Africa, where much of the world's cocoa is grown. Cocoa prices on the New York commodities market are three times as high as they were in 2022. The company has not confirmed the exact price increases it will be putting in place, nor which specific products will be affected, but the change will likely effect many of the chocolate bars that Americans purchase most frequently. What To Know Hershey said it informed its retail customers last week that it would be making the change. The company previously announced pricing actions last August, after outgoing CEO Michele Buck said the high costs of cocoa would significantly hurt the company's bottom line. This was prior to another surge in cocoa prices later in 2024. According to data from TradingView, cocoa futures rose nearly 170 percent over the year, peaking at more than $12,000 in mid-December. Hershey's chocolate bars are shown on July 16, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois. Hershey's chocolate bars are shown on July 16, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois.

In its 2024 annual report, released in February, Hershey predicted that high cocoa prices would "put significant pressure on 2025 earnings." Hershey told news outlets this week that the price increases were "not related to tariffs or trade policies," but rather reflected "the reality of rising ingredient costs including the unprecedented cost of cocoa." In an earnings call in May, Hershey said it anticipated between $15 million and $20 million in "tariff expenses" in the second quarter of this year. What People Are Saying A spokesperson for Hershey told CNN the price hike "reflects the reality of rising ingredient costs including the unprecedented cost of cocoa." "We've worked hard to absorb these costs and continue to make 75% of our product portfolio available to consumers for under $4.00," they added. What Happens Next? Hershey has not specified when the price increases will come into effect. During the May earnings call, Hershey's CEO said cocoa production was expected to rebound in the year. "There are reasons to believe that this year's crop marks the beginning of a multi-year growth cycle in cocoa supply," said Buck. She is set to retire in August, to be succeeded by Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner.

Over 63,000 Pounds of Oats Are Being Recalled — Here's What We Know So Far
This article may contain affiliate links that Yahoo and/or the publisher may receive a commission from if you buy a product or service through those links. Oats are a staple in most pantries (I know they are in mine), and the possibilities of things you can make with the humble grain are endless. Maybe you've been switching out your classic oatmeal breakfast for overnight oats as the weather warms up. Or you're adding some as a topping to a fruit crumble. Perhaps you even make your own oat milk. Whatever the case may be, it's clear that oats are versatile. But before you grab some for the next recipe you're whipping up, you may want to double-check the container. The Food and Drug Administration just recalled over 63,000 pounds of oats due to plastic contamination. The oats (both regular and quick rolled) were produced by Grain Millers Inc., a company based out of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and sent to distributors in California and Indiana. The recall was first initiated on February 11, 2025, and the FDA officially deemed it a 'Class II' recall on April 22, 2025 (meaning it could 'cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences'). According to Grain Millers Inc.'s website, the company is the 'world's largest organic oat processor and produces about 1/4 of all the oats in North America.' While it's suspected that these oats may have been shipped to businesses (such as bakeries, for example), you may want to check your oats if you live in California or Indiana. Here are the exact batches that were recalled. 20 totes of 1,800 pounds of Regular Rolled Oats #5 with a product identification number of 810239153 and code information number of 250131N-1 17 totes of 1,600 pounds of Quick Rolled Oats #21 with a product identification number of 811176 and code information number of 250202N-2 No injuries or illnesses have been reported yet, but if you happen to have these recalled oats, do not consume them. Throw them out immediately or return them to the seller you bought them from for a refund. Consuming plastic could be extremely dangerous and cause choking or puncture wounds in the mouth and throat, or it could become lodged in your digestive tract. If your oats have one of the product identification numbers listed above, we recommend tossing them — better to be safe than sorry!

I Just Discovered the Most Brilliant Way to Seal a Bag of Potato Chips
TikTok will point you in the direction of so many ingenious ideas that you can use in the kitchen, from clever cooking techniques to highly sought-after celebrity-created recipes. Recently a creator shared a tutorial for sealing an open bag of potato chips (if you don't have a clip on hand), and the video has since racked up 6.2 million views. In the clip, @_finallyallison, a digital creator who shares recipes and cooking advice, dropped a step-by-step instructional video on sealing an open bag of chips sans any special equipment or clamps. It's perfect for those moments when you're snacking on some crisps, but know you won't be able to finish the entire pouch. Here's how to do the famous chip bag folding technique: Start by straightening out the bag of chips, then fold each corner toward the back of the bag. After that, fold the top flap of the bag over itself. Next, roll the bag tightly from the top to the bottom right before you reach where you can feel the chips. Finally, tuck the open flaps in the front into the back of the bag to seal it. This method, which certainly feels a bit like origami, will keep your chips sealed so they don't go stale. People immediately raced to the comment section of this TikTok tutorial to share their thoughts. One person said, 'Gonna try that next time — so neat!' while another user mentioned, 'I learned this life hack years ago I still use it.' Other people jokingly argued that this hack might take a bit too long, 'Ain't nobody got time for origami chip foldin',' and another pointed out, 'That's cute that you think we don't eat the whole bag in one sitting.' If you find that this method of folding and sealing is a bit too complicated for your liking, you can try plenty of other chip-sealing hacks. Last year The Kitchn reported on another method that simply involves folding a triangle 'ear' on each corner and then rolling the bag down. Whichever route you decide to take, it'll be worth it. While we can always hope we'll have a chip clip on hand, that's not always the case — especially if you find yourself at the beach or a BBQ. So, to prevent the fate of stale chips, use this brilliant technique and you'll be on track to never waste your pouch of snacks again.
