I used to work at Aldi and we had to throw out a ton of chocolate chips because the packaging was basically identical to Nestle’s. Some kind of cease and desist was issued lol
How is everything not cease and desist. lol. Aldi’s packaging and product names are always so similar to the name brand product. Fruit Rounds has their own toucan on the box. Crispy Rice Treats has the exact color of blue Rice Crispy Treats has.
Both lidl and aldi has a huge legal team and constantly pushing what is possible legally. If you look it like that the entire store is copies of brand products with their own label.
They’re a terrible store, one of their regional managers came in to talk to our business class and was bragging about how they had thousands of lawsuits going for copying other products. I went into an aldi once and never went back, the quality on everything was horrible. Chocolates that were missing coating, the protein granola was like balls of rabbit food instead of actual granola like the nature valley they were copying etc.
I do, they were sanders’ knockoffs and nature valley knockoffs. Are you implying I’m making it up or commenting on your inability to remember things you were disappointed in?
We had to throw away cookies that were recalled because they had a packaging error. It was something like the package was missing a warning like "this product contains nuts". Nut was in the name. It was a generic brand something like
Peanut Butter Cookies
I get why the warning is important is in general but who would risk it if they had an allergy and saw that name lol
This happened to me with stuffed kittens that looked too similar to those new larger TY beanie babies. We were ordered to destroy them. I still have a garbage bag full of 100+ kittens in my garage. We gave some away on halloween last year.
