Real Chocolate. No Compromises. Because doing something good for the planet should still taste really, really good.
DENVER, CO - August 2026 – Alter Eco is bringing its playful approach to organic chocolate and snacking to Newtopia Now 2026, where the brand will showcase its growing portfolio at Booth #654, including its award-winning Organic Oat Clusters and newest chocolate offerings.
For Alter Eco, Newtopia is an opportunity to share more than what's new on the shelf. It's a chance to show how the brand continues to evolve, while staying true to what has always made it different: creating delicious food with organic ingredients, bold flavors and a commitment to doing things thoughtfully…without taking the fun out of eating.
And in a year when the chocolate category has changed dramatically, staying true has mattered more than ever. Rising cocoa costs, climate pressures and shifting consumer expectations have challenged chocolate makers across the industry, forcing many brands to rethink ingredients, recipes and pricing. Alter Eco chose to stay the course, continuing to make real organic chocolate with real cocoa butter and the rich, adventurous flavors consumers have come to love.
"This year challenged every chocolate maker, but it also reminded us why people choose Alter Eco," said Keith Bearden, CEO of Alter Eco. "We never set out to make just another chocolate bar, we set out to make chocolate people could trust. That means real organic ingredients, real cocoa butter and incredible flavor. We worked hard to protect that promise, while keeping our products as accessible as possible because we don't believe consumers should have to compromise on the chocolate they love."
That philosophy runs throughout Alter Eco's chocolate collection, from its signature bars and truffles to Truffle Thins and its newest flavor innovations. While the category continues to navigate change, Alter Eco remains focused on making chocolate that tastes like chocolate should…rich, delicious and made with ingredients consumers can feel good about.
It's also the thinking behind the brand's newest snack category, where two Alter Eco favorites have finally come together. Made from the company's beloved organic granola and signature organic chocolate, Organic Oat Clusters bring the two together in one crunchy, chocolatey snack. Available in Dark Chocolate, Almond Butter and Cashew Butter, the clusters offer a playful new way to enjoy the flavors Alter Eco fans already know and love.
The new Oat Clusters have already earned a 2026 Good Housekeeping Snack Award, and are now available at AlterEcoFoods.com, with plans to expand into select retailers later this year.
For Alter Eco, it's all part of the same idea: consumers shouldn't have to choose between food that tastes great and choices that reflect what matters to them. Maybe caring about the planet means thinking more about where your food comes from. Maybe it means choosing organic. Or maybe, sometimes, it means simply asking whether the chocolate in your chocolate is actually chocolate.
That's what Embrace Your Alter Eco is all about…finding your own way to make choices that feel good without giving up the things you love.
At Newtopia Now, retailers, buyers and media can sample Alter Eco's latest innovations, including the award-winning Organic Oat Clusters, while exploring the full portfolio of organic chocolate and snacks that continues to push the category forward.
Visit Alter Eco at Booth #654 to discover what's new, what's next, and why, even as the category changes, Alter Eco believes some things are worth keeping exactly the way they are.
