Mondelez Expands Into U.S. Chocolate Market With Oreo-Branded Candy Bars

Sept. 8, 2016

Mondelez International is expanding in the U.S. chocolate market. The company will roll out Oreo-branded candy bars nationally in 2017, reports Bloomberg. The candy bars will be made with Milka-branded chocolate and are currently distributed in about 20 countries. 

Mondelez International is the second-largest seller of chocolate globally, however, its U.S. candy business remains small, the source reports. 

This move comes after the company abandoned a bid to acquire Hershey Co. last month.
