Turkey Hill Whole Chocolate Milk Back On Shelves

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the chocolatey truth? Whole chocolate milk is back.

Fifteen years after it disappeared from the Turkey Hill Dairy drinks line-up and was replaced by 1% Chocolate Milk, Whole Chocolate Milk has returned.

The full-flavored comeback was sparked by consumer requests and the American Dairy Association’s "Refuel with Chocolate Milk" campaign that has brought attention to the use of nutrient-rich chocolate milk as a refueling tool after exercise. But while it may be useful for fitness-minded fans, Whole Chocolate Milk is just as popular with people who enjoy the full-flavored goodness of chocolate milk in its purest and simplest form.

Turkey Hill’s Whole Chocolate Milk boasts a simple recipe — whole milk, real cane sugar (no high fructose corn syrup), and natural cocoa — giving it a richer chocolate flavor than its 1% counterpart.

"It's chocolate milk the way chocolate milk used to be made," said Turkey Hill President John Cox. "Our fans have asked us many times over the years to bring Whole Chocolate Milk back, which is what makes us so happy that it's returning."

Whole Chocolate Milk is available in half-gallon sizes at Turkey Hill Minit Markets throughout Pennsylvania. For more information about Whole Chocolate Milk and other Turkey Hill products, visit turkeyhill.com.
