Cadbury India, a subsidiary of Mondelez International, today changed its name to Mondelez India Foods limited.The change in name of Cadbury is in line with the gradual changeover of the name of all subsidiaries of Mondelez International globally, the company said in a statement.
In early 2010, British candy and confectionery company Cadbury was acquired by US-based Kraft Foods for about £11.9 billion. However, Kraft Foods changed its name to Mondelez International following the division of parent company Kraft Foods Inc into two independent companies - Mondelez International Inc and Kraft Foods Group Inc - in October 2012.
Commenting on the announcement, Mondelez India Foods ltd Managing Director Manu Anand said: “With the change in name of the company to Mondelez India Foods limited, we conclude the process of transition that began over two years ago.”
However, the company said change in name of the company will have no impact on the names or packaging of its products like Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Gems, Bournville, Perk, Celebrations, Choclairs, Halls, Bournvita, Tang and Oreo, which will continue to be sold under the same brand names as before.
