Nestlé Chocapic cereal

Chocapic is a popular chocolate-flavored breakfast cereal that has become a household staple across Europe and Latin America. Recognizable by its distinct petal-shaped flakes and its mascot, Pico the dog, the brand is highly regarded for its rich cocoa taste and its commitment to using whole grains as the primary ingredient.

The brand was originally launched in France in 1984 under the Nestlé umbrella. While the brand concept and initial production began in Switzerland and France, its success led to expanded manufacturing footprints. Today, Chocapic is produced in multiple countries to supply regional markets, utilizing facilities in Portugal, Spain, and Poland, among others.

Chocapic is part of the Cereal Partners Worldwide (CPW) joint venture, a strategic partnership formed between Nestlé S.A. and General Mills. While the Nestlé brand name is prominent on the packaging, the ultimate corporate ownership is shared, with headquarters remaining in Switzerland for the Nestlé entity. The brand continues to evolve, frequently updating its recipe to reduce sugar and salt while maintaining its signature chocolate flavor profile.
