07:43 AM EST, 12/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The UK Competition and Markets Authority said Vandemoortele Group's purchase of Délifrance poses the risk of a substantial lessening of competition in the UK. As such, it gave the frozen bakery products-focused companies until Dec. 15 to provide an undertaking in lieu of a reference and avoid an in-depth review, according to a Monday ruling on the merger inquiry launched Oct. 10. Belgian food group Vandemoortele announced its plan to buy Délifrance from Vivescia Group in March.
