Mark Duffy, manufacturing director at KP Snacks, said: "Following our acquisition of Butterkist in 2017 we have been reviewing our manufacturing capability to ensure that we can deliver quality products with great service and at the right cost for our customers. Approximately 31 roles would be available at the Pontefract facility. If the move goes ahead, about 90 staff would potentially be at risk of redundancy.

KP Snacks has revealed plans to close a Yorkshire popcorn factory and relocate production to another facility in the region, with 90 jobs at risk.
