The boss of Cadbury owner Mondelez has slammed the 'volatile' regulatory environment in the UK, raising questions over the future of its investment here.
Chief executive Dirk Van de Put criticised frequent changes made to food and drink regulations by the UK Government in recent years.
He said: 'We've got 100 different targets relating to nutrition… The UK is very important to us, it's our second biggest country so I cannot neglect it, but it makes you doubt a little bit.
'How much should we invest in the UK if this is the environment we have to deal with?'
It comes after the Government introduced tougher restrictions on how foods high in fat, salt and sugar are promoted in shops and advertised earlier this year, in an attempt to tackle obesity.
