Kraft Foods is injecting further impetus behind its Milka chocolate brand in Europe with the launch of a biscuit and cake range in France.

The new lines include three cake products and two biscuit variants.

The launch proves Kraft is keen to diversify its Milka into other sectors. Milka, which will form part of Kraft’s global snacks arm, is a leading chocolate brand on the continent and is a focus for the food giant.

According to Kraft, Milka is the number one chocolate brand in France with a 35% market share by value in 2011.
