Mondelez International

Mondelēz International has sent a legal letter to Moo Free alleging trademark infringement for selling its White Choccy Snowballs and asking for the products to be removed from sale ahead of Christmas. Mondelēz says it registered the terms Snowball and Snowballs for chocolate confectionery in 2001 and is open to an amicable resolution, while no court action has been taken. Moo Free, which has sold the product for about two years and is stocked by major supermarkets, disputes the claim and has responded that it does not accept any infringement. » Mais em theguardian.com

Mondelez has filed for an injunction against Catherine’s Originals, accusing the small British chocolate brand of imitating the distinctive peak-shaped form of the Toblerone. The company points to the long history of protection for the shape and reports months of unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue. Founder Catherine Dodd rejects the allegations and calls the lawsuit frightening for her business; Mondelez has been taking action against imitators for years. » Mais em kurier.at

Mondelēz has filed a claim in the London high court accusing Catherine’s Originals of passing off and trademark infringement, alleging its O’bar copies the distinctive chunky shape of Toblerone. Catherine’s Originals rejects the claim, saying O’bar has a distinctive design and will defend the business with legal support. Mondelēz says it tried to resolve the matter directly and must protect its long-established trademark. » Mais em theguardian.com

Mondelēz has invested heavily in reformulating UK snacks—about £40m since 2020 and work at RSSL and Bournville—to reduce fat, sugar and salt while preserving taste and texture. The government’s proposed tougher Nutrient Profiling Model, with stricter free-sugar thresholds and greater fibre weighting, could reclassify many reformulated products as “less healthy” and bring them under advertising and promotion restrictions. Industry groups warn the changes and the existing HFSS ad ban create regulatory uncertainty that could make years of reformulation investments unviable, while public-health advocates argue the model update reflects recent evidence and is overdue. » Mais em theguardian.com

Dirk Van De Put executed an exercise-and-sell transaction on Aug. 19, 2026, disposing of 133,580 Mondelez Class A shares at a weighted-average price of $64.08, generating $8.55 million. The sale was carried out under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and involved exercising options with a $42.11 strike price. After the transaction he retains 1,326,488 directly held shares, valued at about $85 million at the Aug. 19 close. The company’s recent financials show modest revenue growth and an improving operating margin, and the sale represented roughly 10% of the CEO’s holdings. » Mais em finance.yahoo.com
