Hershey vs Cadbury, Gray Market Chocolate, and Peanut Butter Oils
Hershey's legal efforts to block the import of British Cadbury chocolate and other UK brands like the Yorkie Bar are detailed. The dispute centers on FDA standards for milk chocolate, which prohibit the use of palm and shea oils found in British recipes. Hershey is accused of using trademark law to protect its market share against superior imported products.
