Kraft's bid for Cadbury 'derisory'

A £9.8 billion hostile takeover bid from US food giant Kraft has been labelled "derisory" by Dairy Milk maker Cadbury.

Kraft - the company behind brands including Dairylea and Kenco coffee - appealed directly to Cadbury's investors after its initial approach was rejected by the board in September.

But it refused to improve the terms of its cash-and-shares offer, which is now lower than two months ago due to falls in the Kraft share price.
