Irish white sliced pan, pizza dough and wholemeal bread all face price hikes because of Brexit-related tariffs. The EU fears it would set a precedent and open a back door to its market for UK products.

Canadian wheat is what gives Irish products their distinctive taste, said Alex Waugh, director general of UK Flour Millers.
