Are your favourite chocolates disappearing? IKEA set to pull out entire Mondelez range
- Replies 9
Let's face it, chocolate is a sweet treat that many of us are guilty of indulging in from time to time. There's nothing quite like unwinding after a long day with a good show, a nice cup of tea, and a small plate of our favourite sugary delights.
'Out with the old, in with the new' is a saying we have all heard, and it seems true even in the confectionery world.
Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday grocery shopping, many shoppers will be stunned to learn that IKEA has decided to phase out an entire range of chocolates from its Australian stores.
An IKEA spokesperson has confirmed that iconic Swedish Marabou products such as Daim chocolate—an absolute favourite in many households—will slowly but surely be phased out.
Marabou chocolates are owned by Mondelez International, a multinational confectionery giant that offers a diverse range of iconic brands like Toblerone, Cadbury, and Oreo.
Their products have become a staple in pantries worldwide.
The reason behind IKEA's chocolate shake-up? The popular Swedish retailer is shifting its focus to IKEA-branded products. According to the spokesperson, the brand has been focusing on IKEA-branded confectionery products for some years, and it's part of their long-term vision to concentrate on these home-brand items.
'The current IKEA range includes some different chocolate products from suppliers owned by Mondelez,' the spokesperson said. 'The decision to phase out those products is a part of the long-term focus on IKEA-branded confectionery products.'
Although we anticipate that many of you will be disappointed to see the end of your favourite confections, here's a silver lining: IKEA assures customers that its snack range is 'all produced responsibly' and is 'UTZ certified', which suggests that the ingredients used are sustainably farmed and that the workers involved are treated fairly.
The date when the Marabou products will vanish from the shelves remains up in the air. But don't let this get you down—it may be time to try something new. Maybe we will find a new snack to accompany our movie nights. Or, perhaps it is a push towards a healthier lifestyle we all need!
Whatever the case may be, remember to stay tuned for updates, and in the meantime, relish every moment and nibble on your beloved Marabou products while they still grace IKEA stores! Bon appétit, everyone!
This change is indeed quite the bittersweet revelation, isn't it? Let's hope the new IKEA-owned confectionary products bring us just as much joy. What are your thoughts on this news story, members? Let us know in the comments below!
