Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As the company has accumulated losses within the operations of Mission Foods UK Limited the directors gave consideration as to whether the business is a going concern. The directors consider it appropriate to prepare financial statements on the going concern basis as the business is currently profitable and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The growth in revenue is largely the result of a full year of selling direct to continental customers following the fire at Gruma Netherlands BV which occurred late in 2019, which had it's customers serviced by intercompany sales from Mission Foods UK Limited & sister companies in Spain until the decision was made to serve them direct from the manufacturing sites part way through 2023, and a full year of price rises to customers to offset rising commodity prices that we suffered during 2023.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
