England is set to leave the European Union on Oct. 31 and it might do so without a Brexit deal in place. This uncertainty has led companies to stockpile merchandise in warehouses to prepare for a worst-case scenario in their supply chains.

Domino’s has spent over 7 million GBP on a surplus of ingredients that come from EU countries. The pizza chain is buying up tomato sauce from Portugal as well as frozen chicken and other long-life products. The Food & Drink Federation has warned that certain foods will quickly run out and consumers could face less choice at stores.
