The news comes after the grocer revealed it had removed all Warburtons products from its shelves.
The supermarket claimed that Warbutons’ “performance didn’t meet expectations”.
“We’re proud to support British. This is clear from the huge range of products we stock, to our unparalleled support for British farmers,” Waitrose said.
“Our customers want new inspiration alongside their favourites. Like every retailer, we review our range on commercial performance – including loyalty data and customer feedback – removing duplication to make way for exciting additions.
“Doing so means we can offer even better value, and give a platform to brilliant British brands, like healthy ready meals from ByRuby, and Barra Gin from a start-up distillery in the Outer Hebrides.”
