De Carolis says in an email that Jersey Milk was only produced in Canada.
She adds the end of its production will not result in any job cuts.
Jersey Milk dates back to 1924, when it was developed by Canadian dairy brand William Neilson Ltd.
A series of acquisitions left the bar under the purview of Mondelez International, which has a downtown Toronto Cadbury chocolate factory, employing nearly 400 workers.
