Bicentury Barritas de chocolate fondant

Bicentury is a well-known Spanish brand specializing in health and weight management snacks, particularly famous for its rice and corn cakes and meal replacement bars like the 'Barritas de chocolate fondant' shown here. The brand was originally created by the Spanish company Bicentury S.L. in the late 20th century, specifically targeting the health-conscious consumer market in Southern Europe.

Over the years, the brand transitioned through major corporate ownerships. While it was once part of the Nutrition & Santé group (headquartered in Revel, France), it has become part of a larger international portfolio. The product is manufactured in Spain, maintaining its local industrial roots in Barcelona. Currently, Nutrition & Santé (the subsidiary listed on the packaging) is owned by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a major Japanese pharmaceutical and nutraceutical group, reflecting a global strategic alignment in the health food sector.
