Kraft-Cadbury deal under scrutiny

London - The Wall Street Journal reports that a British agency is investigating whether Kraft Foods misled employees and investors about its takeover of chocolate maker Cadbury.

The Takeover Panel, which regulates takeovers in the UK, declined to comment on the report on Monday.

The Journal said the Panel was looking at Kraft's promise at one stage that it would not close a Cadbury factory in western England. After clinching the takeover, Kraft said the factory would close as Cadbury had planned.
