About this product

Galaxy Smooth Milk 110 g is the standard bar of Galaxy milk chocolate, the Mars brand first made in the United Kingdom in 1960.[2] Its wrappers are printed for Great Britain, Ireland and Malta, naming Mars Foods Ireland and the Maltese distributor Francis Busuttil & Sons (Marketing) as importers,[3][1] and the bar is moulded in pieces, six to 22 g.[1] Mars buys its cocoa from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms, according to the wrapper.[4] In September 2023 Mars confirmed that it had reduced the Smooth Milk bar from 110 g to 100 g; the 110 g bar had sold for 99p in some supermarkets that summer.[5]

The recipe changed with the 2021 redesign. The 2018 and 2020 wrappers list sugar, cocoa butter, skimmed milk powder, cocoa mass, milk fat, lactose and protein from whey, whey powder, palm fat, soya lecithin and natural vanilla extract; the 2021 wrapper moves skimmed milk powder to second place, replaces the whey ingredients with lactose and whey permeate and prints plain vanilla extract, and its protein rises from 6.8 g to 7.2 g per 100 g.[4][1] The 2018 wrapper names Mars Chocolate UK Ltd of Slough as the British company, and the 2020 wrapper its later name, Mars Wrigley Confectionery UK.[3][4]

  • markets · unknown: Searched amazon.co.uk on 2026-09-27 for "Galaxy Smooth Milk Chocolate Bar 110g", "galaxy" and 5000159510769; the store's search answered with a bot-check page, and web search found B015J4PKP6 "Galaxy Milk Chocolate Block, 110g" (page answered 503, no barcode or price read) and B07Z4575J4, a case of 24 x 110 g, which is not this pack.
  • markets · unknown: Searched amazon.it on 2026-09-27 for "galaxy smooth milk 110g" and 5000159510769 (both returned no results) and for the brand ("galaxy", "galaxy cioccolato"); the Galaxy hits were other articles (Caramel 135 g, a 2 x 360 g Smooth Milk sharing bar, Minstrels, Ripple), none this 110 g bar.
  • markets · unknown: Searched amazon.ie on 2026-09-27 for "Galaxy Smooth Milk 110g", "galaxy" and 5000159510769; the store answered with a bot-check page, and a web search of amazon.ie found no Galaxy Smooth Milk 110 g listing, only a "galaxy chocolate bars large" search page.
  • identity · disputed: Kelly's Expat Shopping in the Netherlands lists "Galaxy Smooth Milk 100g" at EUR 3.50 with EAN 5000159510769; the listing may be the successor 100 g bar filed under the older barcode. The Netherlands is not added as a market.
  • identity · unknown: The successor 100 g bar ("6x = 20 g", "100g: 2273 kJ / 544 kcal") is photographed on Open Food Facts under 5000159553032, but the photograph shows no barcode, so superseded_by is left empty.
  • nutrition · disputed: The typed Open Food Facts record (2273.2 kJ, 544 kcal, 32.4 g fat, 56 g sugars, 0.31 g salt per 100 g) matches none of the three photographed 110 g wrappers; 2273 kJ / 544 kcal is the figure printed on the 100 g successor bar. It is not used.
  • markets · disputed: Open Food Facts lists France among the countries of sale; the photographs filed under French keys show the British, Irish and Maltese wrapper, so France is not listed.
  • relationships · unknown: The photographed parts of the 2021 wrapper show no manufacturer name or address, so the operator of this label is not assigned.
