Cadbury was purchased by Kraft Foods in 2010. It is 2011 and nothing has been updated here. Furthermore, I see no evidence that the legal name of the company has "PLC" in the title. The page on Kraft's website refers to the company as "Cadbury Dairy Milk". Any help getting this all cleared up? 65.175.222.116 ( talk) 01:32, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
The introductory paragraph contradicts itself as to where the company's headquarters are, with the following two statements: "Cadbury plc...with its headquarters in, Uxbridge,London, United Kingdom" and "It is headquartered in Mayfair, City of Westminster.." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.139.137.49 ( talk) 13:47, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

I can see these getting very long-winded and difficult to navigate without some sort of categorisation. I think in the case of chocolate/candy, they should be divided into the different brands - namely Cadbury and Bassetts (AFAIK the Trebor brand is no longer used). Maybe sub-categories for different products made/sold in certain countries should also be made - I can think of at least 10 Cadbury products made and sold (usually) only in Ireland, for example (Moro, Dairy Milk Golden Crisp, Caramello, Tiffin, Top Deck, etc.). --

Why is the title hyphenated? The company name does not seem to be. Rd232 22:34, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
Cadbury chocolate sold in Australia tastes very different to that sold in the UK and Ireland. Does the chocolate sold in the USA under the cadbury label resemble either or these? Why is it so different?
Additionally, there are bars sold in Australia and New Zealand that aren't sold anywhere else. Cherry Ripe for instance. There are others that go under the same name as bars sold in the UK and Ireland but are actually completely different bars. For instance, Moro in Australia is basically a mars bar (tho I don't think it's sold any more). A chomp sold in Australia is like a Drifter bar (except it's one long one) and you can't get drifters in Australia. We have something called a Chokito in Australia and it is virtually identical to a Moro in the UK.
I can't find a source on this but nobody who's visited both countries would disagree. 62.254.168.102 12:11, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Does Hershey's really manufacture all the Cadbury chocolates sold in the United States
The article says:
What?? We've had purple-wrapper Cadbury bars in Canada for a long time, so this statement is either wrong, or not clear enough. WillNL 22:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I've added the cleanup-section tag to the introductory paragraph because it is a hopelessly bad introduction which does not adequately introduce the company. Only the first sentence is really and introductory sentence, the rest of the introduction strangely focuses on what the company doesn't make rather than what it does along with quite trivial facts. The important details of the company on the other hand seem to be absent.
I deleted the first paragraph under the headline "Overview" because it was ridiculous, wasn't an overview, totally unencyclopedic, biased, and read like an advertisement. It said the following:
A cadbury chocolate is created with great care. How do they put in the caramel you ask? First the top of the chocolate is created. the curved top is substituted as a bowl for the caramel. The caramel is then filled in to the chocolate as the chocolate is frozen. Therefore the caramel taken form of the chocolate withought melting. The bottom is them placed and compressed onto the caramilk chocolate giving us all that wonderous taste we love.

The Schweppes page indicates that worldwide the brand belonds to Coca-Cola. When did they acquire it ? -- Beardo ( talk) 19:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
From our company newsletter:
We announced that we had entered into a conditional agreement with Asahi in December, subject to a right of negotiation granted to Coca-Cola in 1999, under which it had until March this year to negotiate with us regarding a potential acquisition of the Schweppes Australia business. Coca-Cola has confirmed to us that it does not intend to pursue its right of negotiation and consequently, we have have today entered into a definitive sale and purchase agreement with Asahi for the same cash consideration as previously announced.

It states that Cadbury is the world's largest confectionary manufacturer and I'm glad it is but there seems to be very few Cadbury products available in France, Germany or Austria when compared to products from Mars or Nestle. How can I have a Crunchie on a Friday when I can't get one for love nor money?? LewisR ( talk) 17:13, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I would say that the real reason is protectionism by Continental chocolate manufacturers. For decades Cadbury's attempted to export to Europe, but were blocked on the grounds that their chocolate was not "chocolate", at one point it was suggested that Dairy Milk could be exported to France if labelled "cooking chocolate", eventually (in 2000) the EU agreed that British chocolate could be sold throughout Europe. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/678141.stm In spite of this decision (which was reported on Italian television news as a grave danger to public health!) you will not find British chocolate (other than that owned by Nestle) for sale in most of the EU (although Continental chocolate is readily available in the UK).

Cadbury continues to use hydrogenated oils in many of its signature products. Although trans fats are present, the nutrition labels round down the values to zero.
Just sounds like a customer service rant and is not given in any context. Any objection to removal? RaseaC ( talk) 23:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Note that not all Cadbury products are Halal (see page: [1]), and it seems that Cadbury have not made any offical statement on Sharia Law (Why in the hell would they?). Reform or remove? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.49.121 ( talk) 15:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: pages moved. Although there really should have been a heads-up on the DAB page talk, consensus is clear, consistent with policy and unlikely to change IMO. Andrewa ( talk) 23:11, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Cadbury plc →
Cadbury — "Cadbury" is the main name used when referring to the company, "plc" is just an extension like "Pty, Ltd or Inc".

The first paragraph starts by saying it is the second biggest and ends by saying it is the biggest. Which one please? Also, the 'Recent developments' section covers not so recent developments from 3 years ago and is followed by another section with even more recent developments. Stepho ( talk) 08:40, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
There are many instances in which the name wrongly features an apostrophe as for example - "In 1905, Cadbury's launched its Dairy Milk bar..." when it should only be applicable in such cases as is grammatically appropriate (unless I am mistaken): "Cadbury's male employees..." or "Cadbury's Dairy Milk".
Could someone please help to clear this matter, as it appears then to be more akin to Hershey's in a grammatical sense. HolyB144 ( talk) 22:48, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
The article Cadbury UK has little content that isn't already here, and lacks references. There might be 1 or 2 lines about the factory closure that could be added here, everything else is a fork from this article. I suggest it be merged. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 15:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
The anon vandal does have at least one point; the list of subsidiaries is dull and conveys no information. Would it be OK to summarize this list saying "Kraft lists NNN subidiary companies with the Cadbury name in XXX countries." since a lot of these entries probably have little notability on their own. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 19:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
The sentence "Analysts have said the fine is not material to the group, with mitigating factors limiting the fine being that the company quickly admitted its guilt and said it had been mistaken that the infection did not pose a threat to health.[69]" needs to be deleted or significantly changed.
This change needs to be made because: - the reference source link is dead, so the sentence is unsubstantiated - the company did not quickly admit its guilt (in fact it allegedly failed to report the incident for 6 months) - the statement that the salmonella infection was thought not to pose a risk to health cannot reasonably be written-off as a "mistake", it was either incompetence or negligence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.176.153 ( talk) 06:44, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
There seems to be a lack of information regarding the acquisitions of Trebor and Bassett. Cadbury Trebor Bassett redirects here, so you'd expect to find the relevant info here. In fact, there's not much information here about their activities in the 20th century outside of the Schweppes merger and the two world wars. Digifiend ( talk) 16:50, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Can this article be updated to include mention of the recent controversial changes to Cadbury Crème Eggs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.183.4 ( talk) 19:01, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
The reference link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury#cite_note-hershey-61 is incorrect. It points to a product page rather than a history page. Hershey's current history page doesn't mention Cadbury (or any merger/acquisition/licensing for that matter) so it can't be used to verify any claims here. Does anyone have a link to the original content? William.h.nicholls ( talk) 19:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
There was spam so I decided to revert the page to its previous content. Grigrass ( talk) 06:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

I've been reverted on a change to specify that the company is a subsidiary of another company. Cadbury is wholly owned by another company. This isn't really controversial. It's like Jaguar Cars being owned by Tata, or Land Rover being owned by Tata, both examples of companies owned by another company, stated right in the first sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:CA0D:8C00:F0A1:F40E:BA00:5A5F ( talk) 08:03, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Cadbury were PROSECUTED not PERSECUTED over the salmonella contamination — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.8.220 ( talk) 01:23, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
When did the company become known as Cadbury Trebor Bassett or whatever?
Was this a merger or acuisition?
When did it buy(?) Maynards?
It's not clear, to me anyway from reading the article, when all this happened. -- 86.162.53.109 ( talk) 11:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
The infobox currently uses this wordmark, with the source being Underconsideration.com. The source is a web page; it appears to belong to a graphic design firm. I can't find any evidence of this 'new' wordmark actually being in use. The Cadbury websites display the 'old' logo, [1] [2] as does the Mondelez International website. [3] Until there is any evidence that the new logo is in use, I propose that we maintain the old logo as an illustration of the brand identity, so that we are not misleading readers. I have made this change. -- Hazhk ( talk) 15:43, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
References
Today, as I was glancing through the headlines, it caught my eye that even the Express and Sun don't refer to Cadbury as a British Company anymore, rather it was referred to as :"The move by parent firm Mondelez International, which bought Cadbury for £11.5billion in 2010, will also secure 40 full-time, seasonal jobs." [1]. I'm not saying that The Sun is a reliable source, far from it, but if they, the Champions of all things English, are saying Cadbury isn't English, rather owned by a multi-national, it is probably time this article followed suit.
For Comparison Budweiser is no longer referred to as an American Company, since it has been bought by a multi-national. This article should follow suit. It's incorrect to refer to Cadbury as a British company anymore. 2A02:C7F:C63A:1B00:949C:DB5D:5AE7:6FC6 ( talk) 08:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

I want to point out that I miswrote an edit summary which might be misconstrued as libelling the company. I accidentally omitted a NOT from a phrase intended to read that the illegal treasure detecting following the launch of its Easter Egg promotion campaign in 2019 was an unintended consequence and was NOT 'incited by the company'. My aim was to make the account read less potentially libellous by prefixing the in-text word 'encouraged' with 'unintendedly'. Apologies. Cloptonson ( talk) 05:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Cadbury probably got its chocolate from British colonies, but so far the article says nothing about the origin of Cadbury's cocoa, what happened there, who was responsible, how Cadbury shaped local politics, if reparations have ever been paid, etc. This might also help understand the section "2022 Channel 4 Dispatches Child Labour Claims".

The Schweppes page indicates that worldwide the brand belonds to Coca-Cola. When did they acquire it ? -- Beardo ( talk) 19:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
From our company newsletter:
We announced that we had entered into a conditional agreement with Asahi in December, subject to a right of negotiation granted to Coca-Cola in 1999, under which it had until March this year to negotiate with us regarding a potential acquisition of the Schweppes Australia business. Coca-Cola has confirmed to us that it does not intend to pursue its right of negotiation and consequently, we have have today entered into a definitive sale and purchase agreement with Asahi for the same cash consideration as previously announced.

It states that Cadbury is the world's largest confectionary manufacturer and I'm glad it is but there seems to be very few Cadbury products available in France, Germany or Austria when compared to products from Mars or Nestle. How can I have a Crunchie on a Friday when I can't get one for love nor money?? LewisR ( talk) 17:13, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I would say that the real reason is protectionism by Continental chocolate manufacturers. For decades Cadbury's attempted to export to Europe, but were blocked on the grounds that their chocolate was not "chocolate", at one point it was suggested that Dairy Milk could be exported to France if labelled "cooking chocolate", eventually (in 2000) the EU agreed that British chocolate could be sold throughout Europe. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/678141.stm In spite of this decision (which was reported on Italian television news as a grave danger to public health!) you will not find British chocolate (other than that owned by Nestle) for sale in most of the EU (although Continental chocolate is readily available in the UK).

Cadbury continues to use hydrogenated oils in many of its signature products. Although trans fats are present, the nutrition labels round down the values to zero.
Just sounds like a customer service rant and is not given in any context. Any objection to removal? RaseaC ( talk) 23:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Note that not all Cadbury products are Halal (see page: [1]), and it seems that Cadbury have not made any offical statement on Sharia Law (Why in the hell would they?). Reform or remove? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.49.121 ( talk) 15:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I've deleted the sentence "From inside reports the change to Palm Oil cost Cadbury, New Zealand 12 million in sales." I spoke to the Cadbury NZ on its customer services and Corporate affairs and the information is false according to their public financial report. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ozzymaker ( talk • contribs) 05:49, 16 September 2010 (UTC) -- Ozzymaker ( talk) 05:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: pages moved. Although there really should have been a heads-up on the DAB page talk, consensus is clear, consistent with policy and unlikely to change IMO. Andrewa ( talk) 23:11, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Cadbury plc →
Cadbury — "Cadbury" is the main name used when referring to the company, "plc" is just an extension like "Pty, Ltd or Inc".

The first paragraph starts by saying it is the second biggest and ends by saying it is the biggest. Which one please? Also, the 'Recent developments' section covers not so recent developments from 3 years ago and is followed by another section with even more recent developments. Stepho ( talk) 08:40, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
There are many instances in which the name wrongly features an apostrophe as for example - "In 1905, Cadbury's launched its Dairy Milk bar..." when it should only be applicable in such cases as is grammatically appropriate (unless I am mistaken): "Cadbury's male employees..." or "Cadbury's Dairy Milk".
Could someone please help to clear this matter, as it appears then to be more akin to Hershey's in a grammatical sense. HolyB144 ( talk) 22:48, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
The article Cadbury UK has little content that isn't already here, and lacks references. There might be 1 or 2 lines about the factory closure that could be added here, everything else is a fork from this article. I suggest it be merged. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 15:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
The anon vandal does have at least one point; the list of subsidiaries is dull and conveys no information. Would it be OK to summarize this list saying "Kraft lists NNN subidiary companies with the Cadbury name in XXX countries." since a lot of these entries probably have little notability on their own. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 19:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
The sentence "Analysts have said the fine is not material to the group, with mitigating factors limiting the fine being that the company quickly admitted its guilt and said it had been mistaken that the infection did not pose a threat to health.[69]" needs to be deleted or significantly changed.
This change needs to be made because: - the reference source link is dead, so the sentence is unsubstantiated - the company did not quickly admit its guilt (in fact it allegedly failed to report the incident for 6 months) - the statement that the salmonella infection was thought not to pose a risk to health cannot reasonably be written-off as a "mistake", it was either incompetence or negligence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.176.153 ( talk) 06:44, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
There seems to be a lack of information regarding the acquisitions of Trebor and Bassett. Cadbury Trebor Bassett redirects here, so you'd expect to find the relevant info here. In fact, there's not much information here about their activities in the 20th century outside of the Schweppes merger and the two world wars. Digifiend ( talk) 16:50, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Can this article be updated to include mention of the recent controversial changes to Cadbury Crème Eggs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.183.4 ( talk) 19:01, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
The reference link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury#cite_note-hershey-61 is incorrect. It points to a product page rather than a history page. Hershey's current history page doesn't mention Cadbury (or any merger/acquisition/licensing for that matter) so it can't be used to verify any claims here. Does anyone have a link to the original content? William.h.nicholls ( talk) 19:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I've been reverted on a change to specify that the company is a subsidiary of another company. Cadbury is wholly owned by another company. This isn't really controversial. It's like Jaguar Cars being owned by Tata, or Land Rover being owned by Tata, both examples of companies owned by another company, stated right in the first sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:CA0D:8C00:F0A1:F40E:BA00:5A5F ( talk) 08:03, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Cadbury were PROSECUTED not PERSECUTED over the salmonella contamination — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.8.220 ( talk) 01:23, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
When did the company become known as Cadbury Trebor Bassett or whatever?
Was this a merger or acuisition?
When did it buy(?) Maynards?
It's not clear, to me anyway from reading the article, when all this happened. -- 86.162.53.109 ( talk) 11:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
The infobox currently uses this wordmark, with the source being Underconsideration.com. The source is a web page; it appears to belong to a graphic design firm. I can't find any evidence of this 'new' wordmark actually being in use. The Cadbury websites display the 'old' logo, [1] [2] as does the Mondelez International website. [3] Until there is any evidence that the new logo is in use, I propose that we maintain the old logo as an illustration of the brand identity, so that we are not misleading readers. I have made this change. -- Hazhk ( talk) 15:43, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
References
Today, as I was glancing through the headlines, it caught my eye that even the Express and Sun don't refer to Cadbury as a British Company anymore, rather it was referred to as :"The move by parent firm Mondelez International, which bought Cadbury for £11.5billion in 2010, will also secure 40 full-time, seasonal jobs." [1]. I'm not saying that The Sun is a reliable source, far from it, but if they, the Champions of all things English, are saying Cadbury isn't English, rather owned by a multi-national, it is probably time this article followed suit.
For Comparison Budweiser is no longer referred to as an American Company, since it has been bought by a multi-national. This article should follow suit. It's incorrect to refer to Cadbury as a British company anymore. 2A02:C7F:C63A:1B00:949C:DB5D:5AE7:6FC6 ( talk) 08:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

I want to point out that I miswrote an edit summary which might be misconstrued as libelling the company. I accidentally omitted a NOT from a phrase intended to read that the illegal treasure detecting following the launch of its Easter Egg promotion campaign in 2019 was an unintended consequence and was NOT 'incited by the company'. My aim was to make the account read less potentially libellous by prefixing the in-text word 'encouraged' with 'unintendedly'. Apologies. Cloptonson ( talk) 05:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Cadbury probably got its chocolate from British colonies, but so far the article says nothing about the origin of Cadbury's cocoa, what happened there, who was responsible, how Cadbury shaped local politics, if reparations have ever been paid, etc. This might also help understand the section "2022 Channel 4 Dispatches Child Labour Claims".
