BRUSSELS – Two major food corporations, Nestle and Mondelez, released individual statements Tuesday clarifying that they were not the focus of European Commission enforcement actions conducted Monday during an investigation into potential antitrust violations within the chocolate confectionery industry.
European Commission officials had announced Monday that they conducted enforcement raids at business locations across two nations, targeting a company suspected of violating competition laws that ban cartel behavior and practices that restrict fair competition.
The investigation centers on possible breaches of antitrust regulations within the chocolate manufacturing sector, though the Commission has not identified which specific company is under scrutiny.
