Halls (cough drop)

Halls is a brand of cough drops and throat lozenges. Halls cough drops are manufactured by the Mondelez International company, which is a global leader in the production of snacks and confectionery.

History

Halls was first introduced in the 1930s by the Halls Brothers Company in Great Britain. The brand quickly gained popularity due to its effectiveness in soothing sore throats and relieving coughs. In the 1960s, Halls was acquired by Warner-Lambert, which later became part of Pfizer. In 2000, Pfizer sold its confectionery division, including Halls, to Cadbury Schweppes. In 2010, Cadbury was acquired by Kraft Foods, which subsequently split into two companies, with Halls becoming part of Mondelez International.

Each variety is available in multiple flavors, such as cherry, honey-lemon, and menthol.

Ingredients

Usage

Halls cough drops are typically used to relieve symptoms of common colds, flu, and other respiratory conditions. They are designed to be dissolved slowly in the mouth, allowing the active ingredients to soothe the throat and suppress coughing.
