--FILE--Milk candies of Shanghai Golden Monkey Food Co. Ltd. are seen in Shanghai, China, 30 October 2017. U.S. chocolate giant The Hershey Co. has quietly sold a Chinese candy brand after local consumers' love for sugary products started to wane. Hershey told Caixin in an email response that it had sold Shanghai Golden Monkey Food Co. Ltd. to Henan Yuxiang Food Technology Co. Ltd. In addition, several Hershey executives, including its international president, Steven Schiller, have quit the board of Golden Monkey, a Shanghai-based producer of toffee, mint candy and cake. Schiller, who was the legal representative of the Chinese brand, was replaced by Zhang Jianfeng, head of the parent company of the new owner, according to the company registry record updated on Friday at the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.
