Mars Wrigley
Mars Wrigley is the confectionery division of Mars, Incorporated, the McLean, Virginia-based privately-held giant. The US portfolio includes Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Twix, M&M's (milk, peanut, peanut butter, dark, pretzel), Dove, Skittles, Starburst, and Extra gum. Every chocolate and sugar-candy SKU lands in NOVA 4 under Monteiro's schema because of the emulsifiers, refined-sugar base, and flavor additives. FoodScore penalizes the added-sugar load and the ultra-processed classification consistently, which puts most Mars Wrigley candy in the low-score bracket. Our pages analyze each SKU at the ingredient level and surface the few cases where the profile is less damaging than readers expect.
