March 5 (UPI) —<\/span> The maker of Toblerone chocolate bars said Sunday that the company will remove images of the famous Matterhorn mountain peak from its packaging.<\/p>\n

Toblerone, owned by the U.S. company Mondelez, said the packaging would be updated to reflect the company’s decision to move some production outside of Switzerland — which has strict rules on the use of national symbols.\n<\/p>\n

Packaging for the triangle-shaped chocolate debuted the image of the Matterhorn in 1970, replacing the image of a bear and eagle representing the creation of the chocolate bar in Bern in 1908.<\/p>\n

“The packaging redesign introduces a modernized and streamlined mountain logo that aligns with the geometric and triangular aesthetic,” a Mondel\u0113z spokesperson told Aargauer Zeitung<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toblerone packaging will now read “established in Switzerland” rather than “of Switzerland” as the company moves some production to Slovakia, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Instead of the profile of the jagged mountain peak, the packaging will include a “distinctive new Toblerone typeface and logo that draw further inspiration from the Toblerone archives and the inclusion of our founder, Tobler’s, signature,” the BBC reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian<\/a>, Switzerland passed legislation in 2017 that restricts the use of national symbols on food and industrial packaging.\n<\/p>\n

At least 80% of a product’s raw ingredients must be sourced from the country in order for a product to be marked as being made in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

That requirement grows to 100% when products contain milk, such as milk chocolate, with exceptions made for ingredients such as cocoa that are not native to Switzerland.<\/p>\n
