Reese's Pieces Go Dairy-Free, But You May Still Want to Avoid the Hershey's Classic 

Hershey's has announced that Reese's Pieces in the US market are now dairy-free, with the removal of milk from the ingredient list. However, the classic Hershey's Reese's Pieces still contain artificial dyes and include confectioner's glaze, making them not suitable for vegans. It is advised for consumers to check the label on the specific package before purchasing, as online ingredient panels may lag behind in-store updates.

While the removal of milk in Reese's Pieces is significant for those avoiding dairy, vegans may want to avoid them due to the presence of confectioner's glaze, which is derived from insects. For those seeking a vegan alternative, plant-based peanut butter cups are available at retailers like Target and Walmart, along with other vegan peanut butter chocolate pieces in the market. International shoppers should be cautious as ingredients and coatings may vary by market, making it important to check local labels.
