Halls Soothers

Halls is a globally recognized brand of mentholated cough drops and medicated confectionery. Originally founded in the 1890s by the Hall Brothers in Whitefield, Lancashire, the brand was initially focused on producing soaps and jams before moving into health-related sweets. Their 'Soothers' sub-brand is specifically tailored toward providing a more pleasant, fruit-flavored relief for sore throats compared to the standard high-menthol varieties.

Over the decades, the brand's ownership has transitioned through major corporate mergers, moving from the original Hall Brothers to Warner-Lambert, then to Pfizer, and later Cadbury. Today, Halls is part of the extensive snacking portfolio of Mondelēz International. Manufacturing occurs in various global facilities to serve different regional markets, with major production sites in countries like Poland, Thailand, and Brazil to maintain its status as one of the world's best-selling respiratory drops.
