The production stoppage has resulted in a shortage of supplies to retailers, the spokesperson told just-food. 

However, the company downplayed the impact the problem would have on the business. 

“This is a temporary reduction in production and we are working hard to restore the production capacity so our consumers can once again enjoy the products at their best quality. The Weetabix Minis and Oatibix bitesize range are made in a unique factory and no other products made by The Weetabix Food Company are affected,” the spokesperson concluded.
