Recent portfolio changes

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]

03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The 2025 annual report records US$1.074bn of worldwide income taxes paid, net of refunds. Neither its country breakdown nor the reviewed UK tax strategy gives a separate UK corporation-tax cash amount.
