A design inside a box of ‘Echte Mirabell Mozartkugeln’.

‘Echt’ means ‘real/genuine’, but these are not the same as ‘Original Salzburger Mozartkugeln’ made by Herbert Fürst. However, Fürst’s ancestor may have been making Mozart balls after Rudolf Baumann first did so (his successor company Confectionery Josef Holzermayr still makes them).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozartkugel shows at least half a dozen other Mozart balls made by other companies.

Despite the virtue-signalling of the palm oil certification body the RSPO, Mondelez’s so-called “sustainable” palm oil is linked to 37.000ha of palm oil deforestation since 2016 (Source: Chain Reaction Research).

Mondelez destroys rainforests, sending animals extinct and release mega-tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, and killing hundreds of endangered species. Once these animals are gone – they are gone for good. See research on Mondelēz’s palm oil sources.

In light of this – the pledges about palm oil on their website are a massive joke

‘Mondelēz International is committed to sourcing palm oil sustainably and eradicating deforestation and human rights violations in the palm oil supply. We take this responsibility seriously.’
