Samworth Brothers’ plant-based Revolution Kitchen site in Melton Mowbray could be set to close.
The food manufacturer has entered into a consultation with employees regarding its plans to shutter the facility as Revolution Kitchen continues to make significant losses.
According to reports in The Grocer, a declining market has been highlighted as a reason for the consultation, which comes as several other suppliers exit the category.
Almost 170 employees would be affected.
In a statement Samworth Brothers noted that no decisions have yet been made. In the event of a closure, the business hopes opportunities will be available for a number staff at its other Leicestershire sites.
