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 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.
