Yeast of our worries: Marmite supplies hit by Covid-19 beer brewing slowdown

Company says due to brewer's yeast being in short supply, production of the spread has been affected

Marmite can only produce small jars due to the coronavirus pandemic, a company tweet has suggested.

The spread, made with yeast extract, is now only being produced in a 250g size jar as a result of brewers' yeast being more difficult to get hold of, a message sent on the company's official account said on Wednesday.
