Definitely not, lot of good German companies. on my phone so didn't make a detailed essay, which is why I encouraged you to read Wikipedia.

For those who can't be bothered:

During the 1930s and 1940s, Rudolf-August Oetker was an active member of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. The company supported the war effort by providing pudding mixes and munitions to German troops. The business used slave labour in some of its facilities. A bronze bust of Richard Kaselowsky still sits within the company headquarters in Bielefeld. Kaselowsky was killed during an air raid on Bielefeld in 1944.[2] The Oetker Family is among those German families, who have profited most from their close relations to the Nazi regime.[3]

I have to correct the original founder might not be a nazi. His grand son defined was.

The company is still privately held by the same family, and controlled

Richard Oetker, August Oetker's brother, took over as CEO in 2010.

Edit: before someone try to paint me as some anti German strawman. I like Germany, and went there multiple time, for works, vacation and the ccc congresses and camps And it actually pained me to learn the company history because I actually liked their pizza.
