Ferrero agreed to pay $2.8 billion in cash for Nestlé's US confectionery arm, over 20 brands including Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Crunch, Nerds and SweeTarts, making it the third-largest US confectionery company.

Ferrero's US candy unit Ferrara puts a reworked Butterfinger on shelves nationwide, with in-house roasted US peanuts and a richer coating, backed by a national TV campaign.

Ferrara's Nerds makes its Super Bowl debut in Super Bowl LVIII with a Flashdance-inspired spot introducing a Nerds Gummy Clusters character, with Addison Rae.

A proposed nationwide class action filed in Chicago accused Ferrero's Ferrara Candy Company of failing to warn that Nerds, Laffy Taffy, SweeTarts, Trolli and Black Forest gummies carry arsenic, citing State of Florida lab tests.

Ferrara Candy Company, maker of Nerds and Trolli, will build a 750,000 sq ft plant in Orangeburg County, its first in South Carolina, investing $675 million and creating 1,000 jobs over 10 years.

Ferrara, which bought Jelly Belly in 2023, began laying off 69 of the 374 staff at Jelly Belly's Fairfield, California headquarters as it shuts the corporate and commercial offices there; the factory, warehouse and visitor center stay open.

The first production lines of Ferrara Candy Company's $675 million, 750,000 sq ft plant in Orangeburg County, South Carolina are due to start in the first quarter of 2029, with the full facility opening later that year.
