My daughter-in-law loves them. Didn't know they were made in Germany. Maybe I can get the directly from the manufacturer.

Looks like M&S are going to have to change their supply chain.

Job losses in the UK then....

Marks & Spencer Percy Pig sweets hit by Brexit red tape

"New Brexit trade rules could mean extra tax on Marks & Spencer's Percy Pig sweets outside the UK.

The sugary treats are made in Germany before being shipped to the UK, then re-exported to M&S outlets in Ireland, France and the Czech Republic.

That means they fall foul of complex "rules of origin" regulations that now govern UK-EU trade.

The new border rules introduced last week are already creating problems for exporters and traders, say firms.

On Friday, M&S chief executive Steve Rowe warned of more red tape and a rise in export costs to some countries."
