About this deal
Fibre is important for our gut health, and also helps reduce blood cholesterol levels which lowers your risk of heart disease. Workers first took strike action in September but moved to a “permanent strike” last month over what they said was a “real-terms pay cut”. Adults should be aiming for at least 30g of fibre each day, which is difficult to achieve without including wholegrains in your diet. The deal comes after 11 weeks of strikes by workers belonging to the GMB union after they were offered a pay rise of 4.25%, falling far short of their initial demand of 10% – in line with inflation.
They needed something to help them during the cost of living crisis. We’re glad the company have finally listened to their hard-pressed staff.

Lifestyle / Additives Pladis, the owner of Jacob’s and Twiglets, temporarily shifted some production to Portugal to ensure supplies in the run-up to Christmas after more than a month of continuous action over pay at the UK factory. And, of course, there’s the classic cheese board. Great for both a post-dinner get-together and an afternoon treat. Picture a range of cheeses from a mature Cheddar to a Red Leicester to a nice soft Feta. Or perhaps even some stinky Stilton, a cheese that grabs you both by the tongue and the nose. Delicious.
