Re: UK carbon dioxide shortage could ‘cancel Christmas’, warns turkey supplier

The government has struck a deal with a US company to restart production of carbon dioxide (CO2) at plants in the UK after warnings of food shortages.
CF Industries stopped work at two of its fertiliser factories, which supplies most of the CO2 used in food production, due to soaring gas prices.
CO2 is widely used in the food industry in brewing and in packaging for meat and salads to prolong shelf life.
It is not clear yet what incentives the government have offered the firm.
The business secretary previously ruled out nationalising the company, although providing financial support is still seen as an unusual move.
It could take as long as three days for the factories to start producing CO2 again at its plants in Cheshire and Stockton-on-Tees.
