Milka-Tafel: Schlechte Karten Für Mondelez Im Shrinkflation-Streit
Mondelez International faced legal scrutiny in Germany after it reduced the weight of its Milka chocolate bar from 100 g to 90 g in January 2025 while raising the retail price.

The ruling opens the door to fines and a broader investigation by German consumer authorities. The dispute highlights growing regulatory focus on transparent product sizing across the European food sector.
