Hovis breaks UK-only wheat pledge

Hovis is to break its pledge to use only British wheat in its loaves after last year's severe wet weather hit harvests.

The Premier Foods-owned group will start using additional grain from the European Union this weekend and is expecting to reduce its British wheat-buying by around a third over the year ahead after farmers saw the worst harvest for 35 years.
