The Weetabix Food Co has said the failure if the UKs crop of - white wheat - a specialist ingredient used in small quantities was the key reason it had to change the way it makes Minis.
The supplier which as stated it is committed to sourcing 100% UK wheat, this week admitted it had been forced to supplement its British supply with a small amount of Continental grain.
Weetabix has been making headlines after it was revealed all but one of its production lines of Minis had been halted as a result of the poor 2012 UK wheat crop.
