“It’s a good brand,” a spokesperson for Bongrain insisted. “We were already co-packer for Unilever [and] Germany is our main market after France.”

A spokesman for Unilever Deutschland said the Anglo-Dutch giant’s decision to sell Brunch was not a bad sign for the brand.

“It’s a win-win situation, it’s nothing against the brand,” he said.

Both sides declined to comment on the financial details of the transaction.
