National Biscuit Crisis: Concerns Grow As Britain's Biggest Biscuit Factory Still Isn't Running

The UK is in the midst of a national biscuit shortage - and it could last until April.

Britain's biggest biscuit factory was severely flooded after Storm Desmond hit the UK back in December, resulting in halted production.

It has since been revealed that the 'Biscuit Works' factory in Carlisle still isn't up and running, which is set to have a drastic effect on the number of biscuits produced.

The factory, which is run by manufacturer United Biscuits, produces biscuits for big brands including McVitie's, Go Ahead and Jacob's.

It is thought that favourites including custard creams, bourbons and ginger nuts could disappear from supermarket shelves until mid-spring.
