Lorsque vous achetez un produit Cadbury, vous aidez à offrir un repas à quelqu'un qui en a besoin. »Afin de mobiliser les fans à l'échelle nationale, Cadbury s'est de nouveau associé à l'AJLNH ainsi qu'aux vedettes du hockey, Nazem Kadri et Marie-Philip Poulin, qui apportent leur leadership et leur esprit communautaire à la campagne, inspirant les Canadiens à se rassembler, à afficher leur fierté et à avoir un impact.« Voir ce numéro, voir mon numéro être associé aux statistiques, c'est quelque chose qui m'ouvre vraiment les yeux » a déclaré Marie Philip-Poulin. « Je pense que c'est un droit fondamental. Chaque personne au Canada devrait pouvoir avoir de la nourriture sur sa table. »« Je suis fier d'être de retour pour soutenir Cadbury et le travail incroyable qu'ils accomplissent en coulisses pour aider les familles qui font face à l'insécurité alimentaire », a déclaré Nazem Kadri. « Quand on voit des enfants et de jeunes familles avoir du mal à trouver leur prochain repas, ça frappe vraiment. Vous pensez peut-être qu'acheter une seule tablette de chocolat ne changera rien, mais quand beaucoup de gens donnent un peu, ça peut aller très loin. »Au Canada, le recours aux banques alimentaires n'a jamais été aussi élevé, avec près de 2,2 millions de visites chaque mois.« Les visites aux banques alimentaires au Canada continuent de croître à un rythme record », a déclaré Erin Filey-Wronecki, directrice principale du développement et des partenariats chez Banques alimentaires Canada. « Des campagnes telles que Chaque bouchée compte sont essentielles pour nous aider à répondre à la demande croissante à travers le pays. Nous sommes reconnaissants envers Cadbury pour son partenariat continu et envers les Canadiens qui choisissent des petits gestes quotidiens en un soutien concret pour leurs voisins. »Mondelez Canada, société mère de Cadbury, est un partenaire de longue date de Banques alimentaires Canada, ayant contribué à offrir plus de 22 millions de repas depuis 2013. Les Canadiens peuvent soutenir la mission de Cadbury et de Banques alimentaires Canada en faisant en sorte que chaque bouchée compte grâce à l'achat de leur produit Cadbury préféré.À propos de Mondelez International

Cadbury Invites Canadians to Make Every Bite Count in New Campaign Supporting Food Banks CanadaApril 7, 2026 6:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)
Teaming up with hockey stars Nazem Kadri and Marie-Philip Poulin, Cadbury makes hunger the number to beat.TORONTO, April 7, 2026 /CNW/ - Cadbury makes hunger the number to beat with the launch of Make Every Bite Count, a national campaign encouraging Canadians to turn everyday chocolate purchases into meaningful support for those in need. As part of its continued commitment to supporting Canadians in need, Cadbury is contributing a total of $200,000 to Food Banks Canada and select affiliate food banks. Through the campaign, a portion of proceeds from Cadbury product sales between April 6 and May 18 will be donated, up to $100,000. Additionally, Cadbury will be making a direct donation of $100,000 to Food Banks Canada.
Inspired by hockey culture, Make Every Bite Count transforms jersey numbers into real numbers and staggering stats behind food insecurity in Canada, "Canadians love hockey, and they also care deeply about their communities," said Pierina DeCarolis, Head of Communications and Community Impact, Mondelez Canada. "With this campaign, Cadbury is striving to be a real force in the fight against food insecurity, using our brand to drive meaningful change. By bringing together a shared love of hockey with a shared commitment to giving back, we're making it simple for Canadians to take action. When you buy a Cadbury product, you're helping donate a meal to someone who needs it."To rally fans nationwide, Cadbury has once again partnered with the NHLPA and hockey standouts Nazem Kadri and Marie-Philip Poulin, who are bringing their leadership and community spirit to the campaign, inspiring Canadians to unite, show their pride, and make an impact."Seeing the number, seeing my number being a part of the stats is something that's really eye opening to me," said Marie Philip-Poulin. "I think it's a basic right. Every person in Canada should be able to have food on their table.""I'm proud to be back supporting Cadbury and the incredible work they're doing behind the scenes to help families facing food insecurity," said Nazem Kadri. "When you see kids and young families struggling to find their next meal, it really hits home. You might think buying one chocolate bar won't make a difference, but when a lot of people come together to give a little, it can go a long way."Canada's need for food banks is at an all-time high, with nearly 2.2 million visits to food banks each month."Food bank visits in Canada continue to grow at a record pace," said Erin Filey-Wronecki, Chief Development and Partnerships Officer at Food Banks Canada. "Campaigns like Make Every Bite Count are vital in helping us respond to increasing demand across the country. We're grateful for Cadbury's continued partnership and for the people in Canada who choose to turn small, everyday actions into meaningful support for their neighbours."Mondelez Canada, parent company of Cadbury, is a long-standing partner of Food Banks Canada, having helped donate more than 22 million meals since 2013. Canadians can support Cadbury and Food Banks Canada in their mission by making every bite count with the purchase of their favourite Cadbury product.About Mondelez International

MDLZ Still An Awesome Play...........
Found this today....
A couple underrated foods companies include J.M. Smucker and Mondelez (NASDAQ: MDLZ). Smucker is one of the great peanut butter-coffee combo companies, while Mondelez is the international spinoff from Kraft Food Group.
Its key segment is the biscuit category, accounting for over 30% of revenues, with 27% of revenue from the chocolate category, 17% from beverages, 15% from gum and candy and 9% from cheese and grocery. Mondelez's key brands include Oreo, Ritz, Chips Ahoy, Cadbury and Trident.
Unlike General Mills and Kellogg, Mondelez already has impressive international exposure, with about 80% of sales are expected to come from outside of North America in 2013.
Rumors are floating that billionaire activist Nelson Peltz might be looking to push Pepsi's snack food business and Mondelez to merge. This is big news, as I think this could be a big positive for both companies. The stock is down over 5% during the past month. This could be a good time to buy into the stock.
Mondelez has reaffirmed its 2013 organic revenue growth target of 5%, while upping its earnings guidance to $1.55 to $1.60 per share. At the mid-point, that would be 13% year over year EPS growth. This international snack company also pays investors a 1.8% dividend yield on a 50% payout of earnings.

Looking Good,,,, Yum Yum Yum !!
The snack food and beverages product company, Mondelez International (MDLZ), is next in our list with a stake in this fund's equity portfolio of 1,836,976 shares. This represents an absolute difference of 1,310,538 shares compared to the previous quarter. The value of the equity in the portfolio rose by 320%, indicating Marshall Wace LLC is bullish, and the fact that shares are in the green year-to-date. Sporting a trailing P/E of 18.20 and a forward P/E of 17.52, Mondelez is expected to increase its earnings over the intermediate term, and long-term investors have reasons to be bullish as well. Mondelez has a beta of 0.48 as well, indicating that its risk level is comfortable for even the most risk-adverse of investors.

Man,,,Dog With A "BONE",,,,,,,
Any guess to bid made for MDLZ by PEP ?? $39 ??
According to the most recent filing, Peltz's Trian Fund Management now has a $270 million stake in PepsiCo and a $494 million stake in Mondelez. For Mondelez, this equates to less than 1 percent of its market capitalization. For PepsiCo, Peltz's stake represents little more than a rounding error however the fact that Peltz and PepsiCo are already engaging in "strategic, long-term" discussions suggests that the investor has big plans for these firms.
