Hubert Weber said the food giant, which also makes popular snacks like Oreo cookies and Maynard Bassetts’ wine gums, was putting a programme in place in case Theresa May is unable to get an agreement from the EU.
With the deadline for our exit from the bloc approaching, a number of companies within a range of industries are making contingencies for exiting without a long-term deal.
Speaking to The Times, Mr Weber warned as a result shoppers may face higher prices and fewer choices in the shops unless the negotiations improve.
He said: “Like the whole of the food and drink industry in the UK, we would prefer a good deal that allows the free flow of products, as that would have less of an impact to the UK consumer.
