- Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon, NJ (1888PressRelease) June 03, 2025 - Cadbury, the iconic chocolate brand with a rich heritage spanning over a century, and Nestlé, the global leader in advanced nutrition and health science, today proudly announce a landmark partnership designed to harness their complementary strengths in creating innovative, science-backed food products that delight consumers while promoting health and wellbeing.
This strategic alliance marks a new chapter in the food industry where tradition meets cutting-edge science, promising products that not only satisfy taste buds but also support healthier lifestyles. The collaboration will combine Cadbury’s legacy of indulgence and community spirit with Nestlé’s expertise in nutrition science and global reach, creating unparalleled value for consumers, employees, and communities worldwide.
From its humble beginnings as a small grocery shop in the 19th century, Cadbury has grown into one of the world’s most beloved chocolate makers. The story of Cadbury is one of family, vision, and generosity. Founded by a father and his two sons, the brand has always been driven by a commitment to quality, care, and community
Central to Cadbury’s identity is the famous “glass and a half” of milk poured into every bar of Dairy Milk chocolate — a symbol not only of rich taste but also of the brand’s commitment to quality ingredients and nurturing communities. Over the decades, Cadbury has invested in its people, suppliers, and neighborhoods, ensuring that the company’s success is shared widely and responsibly.
“At Cadbury, people have always been at the heart of everything we do,” said a spokesperson from Cadbury UK. “This partnership with Nestlé is an exciting opportunity to build on that foundation and bring even more innovation and care to our consumers.”
Nestlé is the world’s largest food and beverage company, committed to enhancing quality of life through nutrition, health, and wellness. Renowned for its science-driven innovation, Nestlé leads the infant and early childhood nutrition market with products containing human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), now available in over 50 countries. Nestlé continues to invest heavily in R&D to ensure products deliver proven health benefits while meeting consumers’ evolving needs. For more details, visit www.nestle.com.

Developing new food and beverage products that combine Cadbury’s indulgent flavors and heritage recipes with Nestlé’s nutrition expertise, including fortified chocolates, nutritious snacks, and wellness-focused treats designed to appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Joint investment in R&D centers to accelerate the development of food products that leverage Nestlé’s advanced ingredients like HMOs and probiotics alongside Cadbury’s flavor mastery.
Both companies’ commitments to sustainable sourcing, environmental stewardship, and community welfare, ensuring that every product respects people and the planet.
