There is no “glossing over” how the German conglomerate that now owns iconic American glazed Krispy Kreme donuts once made its dough — on the blood and forced labor orchestrated by the Nazi party, it conceded on Monday following a popular German tabloid’s published account.
The Bild am Sonntag newspaper report of the Nazi ties to the Reimann family and its JAB Holding Co. was confirmed by spokesman and company executive Peter Harf, and reported in English on the Deutsche Welle media site.
Krispy Kreme Donuts Inc. was sold to a unit of JAB Holding for about $1.35 billion in 2016, a deal that took the donut maker with southern U.S. roots private.

No, it never has been. They do contract with Coca Cola bottlers to produce and market it in many areas. Keurig owns them now. Before that, Cadbury.
Although they are owned by yankees, they still have a major operation in Texas (in a city that's been overtaken by Yankees and Asians.)
It had been developed by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Schädlingsbekämpfung mbH (Degesch), a state-controlled consortium formed in 1919 to investigate military use of the chemical. Degesch was taken over by the Deutsche Gold- und Silber-Scheideanstalt (German Gold and Silver Refinery, Degussa) in 1922.
I. G. Farben obtained a 42.5% share of Degussa in 1930 and continued to market the product through that brand.
Prior to World War II Degesch (owned by Degussa, in turn majority-owned by I. G. Farben) derived most of its Zyklon B profits from overseas sales, particularly in the United States, where it was produced under license by Roessler & Hasslacher prior to 1931 and by American Cyanamid from 1931 to 1943. From 1929, the United States Public Health Service used Zyklon B to fumigate freight trains and clothes of Mexican immigrants entering the United States. Uses in Germany included delousing clothing (often using a portable sealed chamber invented by Degesch in the 1930s) and fumigating ships, warehouses, and trains. By 1943, sales of Zyklon B accounted for 65 percent of Degesch's sales revenue and 70 percent of its gross profits.
Degesch resumed production of Zyklon B after the war. The product was sold as Cyanosil in Germany and Zyklon in other countries. It was still produced as of 2008. Degussa sold Degesch to Detia-Freyberg GmbH in 1986. The company is now called Detia-Degesch. Up until around 2015, a fumigation product similar to Zyklon B was in production by Lučební závody Draslovka of the Czech Republic, under the trade name Uragan D2. Uragan means "hurricane" or "cyclone" in Czech.

Nope. Hoechst merged with Sanofi, but Agfa and BASF are still going strong.
