Mars products taken off shelves

Friday, 21 October 2022 06:30

If you see some of your favourite products disappear from supermarket shelves – it’s probably they’re produced by the giant US multinational Mars.

Both Coop and Migros have withdrawn some of Mars products in a dispute over price.

Mars is more than the chocolate bar – it makes Ben’s Rice, Dolmio pasta sauce and Whisker’s cat food – and much more.

Neither supermarket will reveal the details of the dispute – citing commercial confidentiality.

Although the sales have stopped for now – talks continue.
