German Court Rules Mondelez Misled Consumers by Shrinking Milka Bars Without Notice

A German court has ruled against U.S.-based food giant in a landmark case over "shrinkflation," finding that the company misled consumers by reducing the size of its popular Milka Alpenmilch chocolate bars while keeping the packaging largely unchanged. The Bremen regional court determined that Mondelez violated competition law by shrinking the bars from 100 grams to 90 grams without making the change sufficiently clear to shoppers, as reported by GB News and Reuters.
