The Story of Belvita Biscuits
How Belvita Started
Belvita biscuits first appeared in France in 1998. They quickly became popular! By 2000, they were sold in seven more countries across Europe. Later, in 2010, Belvita came to Brazil, and in 2012, it arrived in North America, including the United States.
Who Owns Belvita?
In 2011, the company that owned Belvita, Kraft Foods, decided to split into two separate companies. One new company was called Kraft Foods Group. The other company, which kept the Belvita brand, was renamed Mondelēz International. This change happened in October 2012. So, Mondelēz International is the company that owns Belvita today.
Belvita's Popularity
Belvita biscuits became very popular, especially in the United Kingdom. In October 2012, sales of Belvita grew a lot. Many people liked them as a healthier breakfast choice.
A Small Problem
In 2013, Mondelēz International had to take back some Belvita biscuits from stores in the United States. This happened because there was a small problem at a factory that made some ingredients. It was a safety measure to make sure everyone stayed safe.
Belvita Around the World
Belvita biscuits are sold in many different places. For example, in Indonesia, Nabisco and Kraft Foods started selling Belvita as "SinNegro" in 2023. This replaced an older brand called Hony Bran. Also, a type of Belvita called "Milk Biscuit" was stopped in 2009, but a new "Cereal Biscuits" version was launched in Indonesia in 2016.
