The UK may face a shortage of chocolate Easter eggs due to Brexit, as many chocolate manufacturers supplying ingredients from Europe fear that their deliveries will be cut without a trade agreement.
For the fourth time, the British Parliament could not agree on a new Brexit plan. The United Kingdom is due to leave the 29-member European trade bloc on April 12, two weeks after the originally planned one and almost two weeks before Easter.
Chocolate firms insist that there will be no problems, although British Brake Democrat politician Tom Brakes said this holiday could be without traditional pleasure: “If chocolate makers can't keep up with demand because their chains supplies are torn, there will be no Easter eggs. ”A spokesman for Cadbury, a British multinational confectionery company wholly owned by Mondelez International since 2010 and the second largest confectionery brand in the world after Mars, said: “We are preparing for a number of potential results, so we can continue to serve our customers and consumers in the best possible way.” ".
Nestle, a Swiss multinational food and beverage company, one of the largest food companies in the world, said, “The bulk of our Easter products in the UK will be ready and on sale on time.”
