“We’re very pleased. The news reflects the hard work we’ve put in to producing a great gum product,” a Cadbury spokesperson told just-food.


The UK gum market has been dominated by Wrigley, who until recently accounted for 98.5% of all gum sales.


Cadbury has owned Trident since 2003, when it acquired US confectionery company Adams. Cadbury’s launch of a new range of Trident gums was backed up by a GBP10m advertising budget.
