Shrinking Milka chocolate bar tricked consumers, says German court
BBC News·May 13, 2026
A German court has ruled that the manufacturer of Milka chocolate bars deceived consumers by reducing the size of the bars without sufficiently notifying them. The court in Bremen found the company guilty of "shrinkflation", a practice where products are made smaller while their prices remain the same. The ruling suggests that the company's actions were misleading and tricked consumers into paying the same price for a smaller product. The decision may set a precedent for similar cases of shrinkflation in the future.
