Mondelez International , the parent company of confectioner Cadbury , has said it is withdrawing some ingredients and finished products in the event of a no - deal agreement . The food and drink industry is one of a number of sectors that are building up stockpiles of raw materials and manufactured goods to prepare for a scenario in which the UK crashes out of the EU without a trade deal. Hugh Jones , president of Mondelez Europe , said the company would negotiate a deal " that allows the free flow of products " , but had a contingency plan in place if talks collapsed . UK Prime Minister Theresa ' ’s economic plan has been widely criticised , while economists have warned the slight boost to gross domestic product brought about by stockpiling resources would be immediately followed by a mini - recession .
