BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The a2 Milk Company™ and The Hershey Company today announced the upcoming release of co-branded Hershey's/The a2 Milk Company chocolate milk, marking Hershey's first partnership with a premium milk company. The new Hershey's a2 Milk® will pair America's #1 milk chocolate brand with one of America's fastest-growing premium milk brands to provide a natural chocolate milk that uniquely combines the taste, nutrition and all-family appeal that should drive premium milk sales.
Hershey's a2 Milk, using 2% reduced fat a2 Milk, is scheduled to hit retailers' shelves beginning in January 2022 in 59 oz refrigerated cartons as well as in 8 oz shelf stable single, 6-pack and 18-packs.
a2 Milk comes from cows that naturally produce only the A2 protein rather than the combination of A1 and A2 proteins contained in most dairy products. Published research suggests a2 Milk that naturally contains the A2 protein may help avoid stomach discomfort in some people. That feature, as well as strong sales in the overall premium milk category, have helped the company achieve multiple years of double-digit growth including a remarkable 30% growth rate in the U.S. in its last fiscal year.
Coupling a2 Milk with Hershey's cocoa creates a chocolate milk with Hershey's classic taste, 8 grams of protein per serving, and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

With this partnership, we have taken chocolate milk to a whole new level."
"This new chocolate milk is the latest example of how we are expanding The Hershey Company in to expanded better-for-you categories," said Ernie Savo, Senior Director of Global Licensing, The Hershey Company. "Partnering with The a2 Milk Company not only aligns us with a brand that is synonymous with quality and rapid growth but also selling a product that is a staple in almost every family's refrigerator. It's an excellent co-branding opportunity that we expect to yield strong results."
