(Reuters) - Mondelez International Inc (O:MDLZ), the owner of the Cadbury chocolate brand, has hired bankers to explore the sale of a number of confectionery products and assets in United Kingdom, France, Spain and the Netherlands, Sky News reported.

Mondelez has decided that the Terry's brand is not core to its business, according to the report.
The sale is being handled by Lazard, the investment bank that led Kraft's takeover of Cadbury in 2010, Sky News said.
Mondelez was not immediately available to comment.
Kraft Foods (O:KHC) bought Cadbury for 11.7 billion pounds to create the world's top confectioner.
Kraft Foods split its snacks and grocery businesses in 2012. The Terry's brand became a part of the snacks business which was named as Mondelez International.
