Cadbury Dairy Milk 30% Less Sugar has been in development for almost two years with a dedicated team of scientists, nutritionists and chocolatiers at the company’s research and development facilities in India and the UK.

The team has been working to find a way to achieve the much-loved Cadbury Dairy Milk taste whilst delivering 30 per cent less sugar with no added artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives. By harnessing our leading-edge understanding of ingredient technologies and taste science, the team successfully replaced the physical functionality of the sugar in solid chocolate in a way that preserves the structure of chocolate and stays true to the unique texture and taste profile of Cadbury Dairy Milk.
