Is Milky Way legit?

Legit

Milky Way is the real deal, a Mars candy bar of milk chocolate, caramel and nougat sold across the US, though its name does not travel well. Buy one in the UK or Europe and you get a different bar with no caramel, while the American recipe is sold abroad as a Mars bar.

What we checked

  • Candy bar since the 1920s
  • Owner based in McLean, Virginia

Watch out for

  • A bar that tastes stale or looks discolored or melted, well before the best-by date on the wrapper.
  • Something in a bar that should not be there, after the wrapper with its lot code is gone.

Bitten into a stale Milky Way bar?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Milky Way as a formal letter.

Have the wrapper or bag in front of you: consumer care usually asks for the product name and size, the lot code and best-by date printed on the pack, and where and when you bought it.

Bar not as it should be? Start your complaint here too, and we push it out to Mars Wrigley by email, social media and printed letters.

What should I do if something is wrong with my Milky Way bar?

If a Milky Way bar is stale, discolored, melted out of shape, damaged in the wrapper or contains something that should not be there, stop eating it and keep the wrapper and what is left of the bar. Photograph the bar, the lot code, the best-by date and anything you found, and keep the receipt or online order.

If anyone feels unwell after eating it or has an allergic reaction, get medical advice and note the symptoms and the time. Then contact Mars Wrigley consumer care on 1-800-551-9985 with the codes and the store name, and ask for a reference number.

Found something in a Milky Way bar that should not be there? Open a case through our complaint process: our trained AI keeps coaching you on what to send Mars Wrigley and when to push again.

Can I get a refund for a Milky Way bar?

For a faulty Milky Way product bought in the US, the quickest route to a refund or exchange is usually the store that sold it, with the receipt, under that store's return policy. You can also report the product to Mars Wrigley consumer care on 1-800-551-9985, with the lot code, the best-by date and where you bought it, and ask what Mars Wrigley can offer. Keep the wrapper until the matter is settled.

Refused a refund on a bag of bars that was stale when opened? We help you write the complaint in minutes, with the photos, the codes and the receipt side by side.

Who makes Milky Way bars?

Milky Way is made by Mars Wrigley, the confectionery business of the family-owned Mars, Incorporated, based in McLean, Virginia. The Milky Way story page says the bar was first sold in 1924, is the oldest Mars chocolate bar brand still around, and was named after a malted milk drink of the day, not the galaxy. The US range covers the original milk chocolate, caramel and nougat bar, Milky Way Midnight with dark chocolate, Milky Way Cookie Dough and Milky Way ice cream bars. The bar sold as Milky Way in the UK and Europe is a different product, so this page covers the US Milky Way.
