About 250 Northern Ireland bakery workers have gone on strike in a dispute over pay. Talks between Allied Bakeries and the trade union, Unite, broke down on Friday. Allied Bakeries is best known in Northern Ireland for brands like Kingsmill and Sunblest.
The union has said strike action will coincide with the ramp-up of production of pancakes at the Castlereagh Road site ahead of Pancake Tuesday. The staff began their strike at 06:00 GMT on Sunday.
