Episode Details

Tate & Lyle, the historic UK ingredients giant, is being acquired for £2.7 billion by US firm Ingredion, marking a major blow to London’s public markets amid a wave of corporate exits. Once sugar-focused, Tate & Lyle pivoted to artificial sweeteners and specialty ingredients, even snapping up CP Kelco for nearly £2 billion — yet investor enthusiasm remains low, with its stock down over 50% in five years. The deal, touted by both CEOs as creating a global food innovation powerhouse, could lead to nearly 500 job cuts as the two firms merge. This acquisition adds to a troubling trend of UK public companies going private or being bought out, raising questions about the health of Britain’s stock market.
