Speaking to Radio WM's Lunch With Ed Doolan programme, Mr Brown pledged to oppose any bidders which intend to asset strip the firm and take jobs out of Birmingham.
'Cadbury is a great brand name, it has great products, it has a great workforce, and we want to keep the workforce in business,' he explained.
The prime minister also referenced an early pledge of support from Lord Mandelson, the business secretary, saying that he agreed that buyers should not be able to asset strip Cadbury and can expect a great deal of opposition if they attempt to do so.
Mr Brown added that Cadbury employs a 'great workforce' and said he aims to do everything he can to keep it in the UK.
An event today organised by the Unite union saw Cadbury workers from the UK and Dublin protest to stop the hostile takeover of the firm by Kraft.
