Snack lovers have been warned to expect a shortage of their favourite treats on supermarket shelves after major manufacturer KP Snacks was hit by a ransomware attack.
Alongside the brand's iconic nuts, McCoys’s, Hula Hoops, Tyrell’s, Space Raiders, Skips, Butterkist, Pom-Bears, Nik-Naks are all at risk of being in short supply as a result.
According to messages sent to local shops and published by industry news outlet Better Retailing, deliveries could face delays and cancellations up until "the end of March at the earliest".
