Bakery imports 'emergency' yeast

An Isle of Man bakery is set to fly in emergency supplies of yeast to avoid a bread shortage amid disrupted ferry freight services.

Managing director of Ramsey Bakery Jim Duncan said production will stop unless he finds supplies.

The severe weather and a technical fault with the ferry has meant major disruption to imports.

Mr Duncan fears a gap in bakery production could have a real impact on Isle of Man customers.
