Shoppers are braced for a shortage of crisps and nuts in stores after major manufacturer KP Snacks was hit by a ransomware attack.
Popular snacks that could be impacted as a result include McCoys’s, Hula Hoops, Tyrell’s, Space Raiders, Skips, Butterkist, Pom-Bears, Nik-Naks and KP Nuts themselves.
Deliveries could face delays and cancellations up until "the end of March at the earliest", according to messages sent to local shops and published by industry news outlet Better Retailing.
