Mondelez International is facing a new UK trademark dispute involving Cadbury Snowballs and Moo Free's White Choccy Snowballs. Just Food reported the development on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

Cadbury rights meet a vegan challenger

Mondelez contacted Moo Free over the family-owned company's White Choccy Snowballs product. Mondelez said no legal action had been taken, that it had made Moo Free aware of its trademark rights and that it remained open to an amicable resolution.

Moo Free co-founder Mike Jessop said the company had been asked to remove the product from sale immediately. Moo Free does not accept that infringement has been established and has responded to the correspondence, according to Just Food.

Brand protection carries a trade-off

The dispute adds a brand-protection test for Mondelez as the Christmas selling season approaches. Protecting Cadbury's Snowballs name may support portfolio control, while a prolonged conflict with a smaller vegan producer could create reputational pressure.
