Ikea has announced that it will be removing some its most iconic sweets from its shelves forever.
The Swedish-based business has revealed plans to phase out two chocolate items made by Mondelez, which includes Daim and Marabou products.
Ikea will stop selling products by Mondelez, the company behind Cadbury’s, across all of it UK stores.
It comes after numerous Scandinavian companies cut ties with the confectionary-maker, over the tax it paid to the Russian Government in 2022.

However, Ikea has insisted its recent move is not related to this.
The furniture giant said it will look to swap the popular treats with its own-brand items.
A company spokesperson said: "Ikea has for some years been focusing on Ikea-branded confectionery products and further developed its own chocolate and candy products.
“The current Ikea range includes some different chocolate products from suppliers owned by Mondelez.
“Ikea will phase out the Mondelez products from the Ikea range.”
Customers will no longer be able to buy Daim bars in the food market section of Ikea's 22 UK stores.
A pack of Daim mini (460g) costs £5.95 and a Daim almond cake (400g) is £4.95.
Various Scandinavian companies have boycotted Mondelez after its dealings with Russia, which invaded the Ukraine in February last year.
In May this year, Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) May labelled the company an “international sponsor of war”.

The NACP found that in 2022, Mondelez’s Russian subsidiary paid around $61million (£48 million) to the Russian Government in taxes.
Mondelez has three factories in Russia, where it produces Oreo cookies, TUC crackers, Alpen Gold and Milka, among other popular items.
The company owns a number of brands in the UK including Maynard's Bassetts, Philadelphia and Ritz, Toblerone and Cadbury.
