Around 200 jobs are to be cut at a Cadbury chocolate factory in Britain.
US owners Mondelez said the redundancies in Bournville, Birmingham, will be voluntary and will be phased in over the next two years.
Mondelez announced a proposed STG75 million ($A136.90 million) investment at Bournville a year ago to build four state-of-the-art lines for making chocolate bars and chocolate assortments.
“During consultation, we agreed that this would mean fewer people working in Bournville in the future than there are today,” a statement said.
Bournville is the biggest Mondelez factory in the United Kingdom and makes popular Cadbury brands including Dairy Milk and creme eggs.
