Most Germans are intimately familiar with his [Müllers] products and advertising slogans, as are people in several other countries around the world, from Australia and China to Israel. His company Müllermilch has also been a sponsor for the German national football team. […]

Fewer may know that in addition to Müllermilch, the products of several other brands belong to his constantly growing empire, including Landliebe, Weihenstephan and Sachsenmilch. Sauces from Homann and the fish in Nordsee products in supermarkets also come from his production facilities.

    Müller was already one of the biggest patrons of the NPD, a now-banned Nazi party whose members have almost all found a new home in the AfD. He is a Nazi with a long history in these circles.

    For this very reason I haven’t bought any Müller products for years. The company’s brands include:

    • Müller
    • Weihenstephan
    • Sachsenmilch
    • Almhof
    • Landliebe
    • Südmilch

    The company operates many other brands and is also active internationally, particularly in the UK and Ireland, but also in the US.

    Find out more if you don’t want to support fascists.

    Edit: As Fesselwurm correctly points out, despite several attempts to ban it, the NPD has never been banned.

    The rumor that Theo Müller supported the NDP is unfounded.

    Apologies for the misinformation in this regard.
