Cargill and Voyage Foods are bringing NextCoa to North America. The product delivers a chocolatey-like taste consumers expect without cocoa, using innovative ingredients and familiar chocolate-making processes.
Kojo Amoo-Gottfried, vice president and managing director of Cocoa and Chocolate for Cargill Food North America, said, “The NextCoa line is about expanding choice, not replacing chocolate but redefining what’s possible. It unlocks a new way for manufacturers to create the flavours and indulgent experiences people love while building resilience into the food system.”
NextCoa confectionery alternatives to chocolate are crafted from plant-based ingredients like grape seeds, helping improve pricing stability and availability. The product also delivers measurable environmental benefits, including a 67% lower carbon footprint compared to conventional chocolate. The cocoa-free offering is formulated without major allergens, free from dairy, soy, peanuts and tree nuts, expanding options for both food manufacturers and consumers. It is also vegan, Kosher pareve and Halal suitable. NextCoa products combine the company’s patented technology with its supply chain scale to bring new food innovations to market.
Adam Maxwell, CEO and founder of Voyage Foods, said, “We built Voyage Foods to rethink how the world’s favourite foods are made. With Cargill, we can scale that vision, making our approach to chocolatey-like foods accessible to even more manufacturers.”
