A fire that began late last night has destroyed two Geest factories in Barton-on-Humber.
The fire was still blazing this morning but a statement from Geest said that it has now been brought under control.
The two facilities, which make pasta and speciality bread, represent just under 10% of Geest's assets and contribute around 6% of group turnover.
Geest said that no one working at the site was hurt, but people in the local area have been advised to close windows and stay indoors because of the risks from fumes.
