Dispute over Dubai chocolate: Discounter Aldi and Lidl in criticism!

Köln, Deutschland - The conflict between discounter giant and a German confectionery company escalates! Aldi and Lidl are under fire because they sell chocolate products under the name "Dubai chocolate", which Wilmer's confectionery sales claim exclusively. Wilmers raises serious accusations: the own brands of the discounters would mislead consumers and illegally enrich themselves with the real Dubai chocolate on the hype. The “Alyan Dubai Handmade Chocolade” by Aldi Süd, जिसकी production in Dubai and manual processing is particularly controversial. Lidl, on the other hand, offers this chocolate to a fraction of the original price in its app - a slap in the face for the company that refers to the origin of its products.

The legal discussion is based on the EU regulations on food declaration that require transparency in relation to origin and ingredients. Wilmers sees these regulations violated and thus brings Aldi and Lidl into a dangerous location that may result in legal consequences, as the platform Vol.at . At the same time, Aldi has introduced the limited availability of the Dubai chocolate in Cologne: customers can buy a maximum of two plates per purchase in order to prevent possible theft. The coveted products cannot be found in the candy department, but must be requested directly at the cash register, which only increases the anticipation for the quality product.

In the middle of the chocolate hype, it is explained that the chocolate sold at Aldi is advertised with pistachios from the Turkish city of Gaziantep, although the production facility is in Turkey. Despite the criticism and legal threats, Aldi has not yet commented on the allegations, while the pressure from Wilmers apparently increases, since other retailers like Rewe have already taken similar measures. It remains to be seen how this argument will develop, while consumers speculate on the coveted chocolate, as well as the platform reported.
