Mondelēz International is the Chicago-based food group behind Cadbury, Oreo, Milka, Toblerone and many other snack brands. Its ultimate parent is the Nasdaq-listed Mondelēz International, Inc. [1][4]
The chain uses Cadbury UK Limited as one UK operating subsidiary; intermediate holdings and other UK entities are omitted. Brands can have different owners or licensees by territory. See the brand notes for Cadbury, Philadelphia and retained gum markets. [2][33][34][32]
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.
The names on the shelf
Brands in the Mondelēz International portfolio
Brands and named ranges from Mondelēz’s global directory, regional company pages, official brand catalogues and acquisition disclosures. UK Cadbury ranges and local names are included. Listed markets describe the evidence checked, not every country of sale or exclusive worldwide rights. This is a researched operating portfolio, including territorial brand relationships, rather than a complete trademark register.

Mondelēz retained emerging-market gum after selling its US, Canadian and European gum businesses to Perfetti Van Melle in 2023. This entry covers the retained markets listed below, not worldwide rights. [32][22]
Hershey holds a licence to manufacture and market Cadbury products in the United States. Ownership of the Cadbury brand does not mean Mondelēz operates every Cadbury product in every market. [33]
The 2023 sale to Perfetti Van Melle covered the US, Canadian and European gum businesses. Retained Trident, Dentyne and Bubbaloo markets are identified on their entries. Sold European names such as Stimorol, Hollywood and V6 are excluded. [32]
Cadbury and Philadelphia require a territorial reading: Hershey licenses Cadbury in the US, while the US Philadelphia portfolio belongs to Kraft Heinz. Partner products in a catalogue do not automatically establish ownership of the partner brand. [33][34][27]
