Halls by Mondelez is the world’s leading cough drop brand, accounting for more than 50% of global cough drop sales, and is also enjoyed as a refreshing candy in many regions. Originally founded in the UK in 1893 by the Hall Brothers, Halls became a major player in the throat soother and cough sweets markets, later owned by Mondelez International since 2015.

The brand offers a wide range of flavors and formats, including classic menthol, cherry, honey lemon, strawberry, and dietary supplement drops, catering to both cold relief and everyday refreshment needs. In colder climates, Halls is marketed primarily as a medicinal product for coughs and sore throats, while in hotter countries, it is popular as a cooling, mentholated candy.

Mondelez has recently announced plans to divest its Halls business to focus on core categories such as chocolate, biscuits, and baked snacks, reflecting a strategic shift to prioritize higher-growth areas. Despite this, Halls remains a dominant and trusted brand in its category worldwide.
