They’re removing the Matterhorn!

Mondelez are moving “some production” out of Switzerland to Slovakia, and Swiss law says you can’t put it on chocolate not made in Switzerland.

I won’t be buying it anymore - fk ‘em and their desire to increase profits.

Free publicity too. Is it contravening the BBC guidelines around advertising to use the brand name rather than refer to it as "the airport chocolate bar" ;-)

I wish they'd make the caramel version more often, that stuff is crack in a box.

Almost unbearable isn't it. Rampant inflation, people unable to heat their homes, Ukraine still being bombed by the Russians and now this.

I'm curious to see how they cheapen the recipe while they're at it.

Sugar, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Honey (3%), Milk Fat, Almonds (1.6%), Emulsifier (Soya Lecithins), Egg White, Flavouring, Milk Chocolate contains: Cocoa Solids: 28% minimum, Milk Solids: 14% minimum

Water, air and more emulsifiers. Air being the cheapest and tried before with bigger gaps "between the peaks".

Although the toast rack look didn't exactly end well for them...

Then there are the 'accusations' of de-forestation, child slavery and price fixing. Mondalez also ruin every product they acquire.Cadbury's, Milka chocolate and LU biscuits have all been casualties of their constant move to cheaper ingredients and larger profits.

Birmingham council should apply for Dairy Milk etc to recieve PGI statushehe; the corporate scumbags are not responsible custodians, they should be forced to make it in Bournville and the recipe should be regulated.
