BBC NewsMuller UK said its dairy review was not related to Brexit uncertainty, but formed part of an ongoing long-term project, external to transform the business.

Read MoreParties agree bus funding is vitalpublished at 14:12 British Summer Time 25 April 2019
BBC PoliticsDuring his visit to Nottingham today, Jeremy Corbyn said bus services in the country have been "devastated" by austerity.
The Liberal Democrats said they agreed additional bus funding is needed, but "much more needs to be done" as they pledged to give people aged 16-21 a two-third discount off bus fares.
The party's transport spokeswoman Jenny Randerson added: "Targeting funding in the right areas is vital, particularly in rural areas where people can be cut off".
Image source, Getty ImagesCo-leader of the Green Party, Sian Berry, urged Labour to commit to scrapping the HS2 high-speed rail project.
"This would free up tens of billions of pounds to be invested in transforming bus and train services in hundreds of towns and cities across the UK," she said.
The Department for Transport said it helps support local authority spending, and subsidises costs by around £250m every year.
"Local authorities spend a further £1bn on the free bus pass scheme, benefiting older and disabled people across the country," they added.
"We have also recently published our plans to make bus travel more convenient for passengers by ensuring better access to real-time information on fares, routes and services."
