Cadbury’s owner Mondelez plots expansion route into US

Mondelez International, the maker of Cadbury chocolates, has outlined its plans to expand in the US, a week after abandoning its pursuit of US sweetmaker Hershey.

Mondelez, the second-largest confectionary company in the world, said it would bring to the US its Milka Oreo chocolate bars that pairs Oreo cookies with Milka.

The Milka Oreo bars, which are available in more than 20 countries, are targeted at the mainstream segment of the $14bn (€12.5bn) US chocolate market.
