History

5 Star was launched in India in 1969.[4][5] In 2016 it was launched in Malaysia and the Philippines in 15g 'mini-bars', 45g standard bars and 150g sharepacks (of 10 mini-bars).[5] It was launched in Brazil the same year but under Cadbury's sister brand Lacta.[1]

In 2019, 5 Star was released in UK shops and supermarkets for a limited time only.
