Greggs PLC has defied the decline of the U.K.’s retail districts with a popular range of cheap pastry products. Now it’s facing a new threat from a possible no-deal Brexit.

The largest bakery chain in the U.K. is preparing to alter its recipes if its supply of perishable ingredients such as lettuce and tomatoes is delayed by a disorderly departure from the European Union. It’s also stockpiling longer-lasting ingredients such as bacon and tuna.
