Japan Airlines Brings Sweet Innovation to the Skies with Oobli Chocolates

Select flights will serve Crisp ‘n Rice Milk Chocolate bites made with sweet proteins

TOKYO and DAVIS, Calif., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Japan Airlines (JAL), a member of the oneworld Alliance and Oobli, the leading global sweet protein brand known for its healthy sugar alternatives, have partnered together to serve award-winning, low-sugar Oobli chocolates on the airline’s international flights between San Francisco and Tokyo (Haneda/Narita).

Available now, JAL First and Business class customers will be treated to Oobli’s Crisp ‘n Rice Milk Chocolate Minis, the world’s first low-sugar milk chocolate bites made without artificial sweeteners. The bars contain 70% less sugar than traditional milk chocolate bars. Instead of adding cane sugar or other alternative sweeteners like stevia or aspartame, Oobli uses sweet proteins to sweeten the chocolate. The sweet proteins are derived from small, rare fruits that grow near the Equator and do not have any of the negative health effects that have been linked to many alternative sweeteners.

“Oobli chocolates are a perfect addition to JAL’s inflight service options and reiterates our commitment to offering innovative new products for our customers,” said Ao Kamio at JAL. “We have also been working to find healthier alternatives while still serving something sweet and Oobli’s chocolates met our criteria. We look forward to serving them on select flights from San Francisco to Tokyo–Narita/Haneda starting this month.”

“This partnership marks our first international expansion of Oobli’s chocolates and is a great opportunity for more people to taste protein-sweetened foods,” said Ali Wing, CEO at Oobli. “Oobli chocolates can be enjoyed as a mid-flight treat without the guilt.”

Oobli Milk Chocolates are available for purchase in four and eight-pack sets at oobli.com.
