Change:

• The supplier Mars Confectionery (Division of Mars UK) has informed us of a supply issue with their Confectionary products.
• There are 10 product codes affected.
• The supply issue is due to supplier manufacturing issues.

Impact:

• Eight product codes are currently suspended and unavailable to order:
  • ADT774, ADT772, ADT773, ADT665, ADT775, ADT662, ADT675 and ADT670.
• Two product codes are available to order, once the remaining stock has depleted the products will then be suspended and unavailable to order:
  • ADT657 and ADT660.
• Potential indirect alternatives are available for most of the affected products.
• However, some of these products may also be subject to intermittent supply.
• Affected product code ADT657 has no identified alternatives, customers are advised to view our online catalogue for products they deem suitable.
• See our Downloads ▼ section to access the product listing for further information on the affected product codes and potential alternatives.
• The supply issue is anticipated to be resolved by 30 April 2025.

Next Steps:              

• Customers are advised to log into our website to view the product listing for further information on the affected product codes and potential alternatives.
• The continuing supply issue is being monitored in conjunction with the supplier, and we will continue to review the stock situation to minimise further disruption and update this ICN with the latest information as it becomes available.
• However, as this is currently a disrupted market and supply is subject to rapid change, the alternatives offered may also be experiencing temporary supply issues.
