In the UK, Tesco is running low on stock of several Unilever products – including Marmite, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Lynx body spray – after the Anglo-Dutch consumer goods company halted deliveries as a result of the dispute.
Unilever is one of Britain's biggest suppliers of branded food and household goods.
Its brands also include Comfort, Dove, Hellmann's, Magnum, Persil, Vaseline and PG Tips. The company last night resolved a dispute with Tesco over an extra 10% charge for its goods, blaming the pound's fall against the euro and the dollar since the Brexit vote.
