Every Cadbury chocolate product sold in the UK broken down by pack size, checked against NHS daily free sugar limits from age 4 to adult.
Cadbury is the UK's biggest chocolate brand, owned by Mondelez and still produced at Bournville in Birmingham. The range runs from single 18g bars aimed squarely at children to 300g sharing blocks, tubs and multipacks. What almost all of it shares is the same underlying recipe.
A Cadbury Freddo contains 11g of sugar. A 110g Dairy Milk sharing bar contains 65g. The chocolate inside both is essentially identical. The difference is that one weighs 18g and the other weighs 110g. With Cadbury, portion size is the variable that matters, not the product you pick off the shelf.
Cadbury milk chocolate is built from milk solids, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass and added vegetable fats. Dairy Milk carries a minimum of 20% cocoa solids and 23% milk solids, which is high on milk and low on cocoa compared with most European milk chocolate. That milk content is why Cadbury products carry more protein than most confectionery, at roughly 7g per 100g.
Alongside cocoa butter, the recipe includes palm and shea oils, plus emulsifiers. These are formulation ingredients rather than nutritional ones: they control melting point, texture and cost. They are safe, but they are a marker of how industrially processed the product is compared with chocolate made from cocoa butter alone.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown at every pack size sold, age-adjusted NHS free sugar and saturated fat calculations from age 4 to adult, an interactive calculator for your exact age band and portion, and a plain guide to what the ingredient list actually contains.
