BRUSSELS, June 19 (Reuters) - Candy giant Mars has not

offered remedies to EU antitrust regulators reviewing its

proposed $36-billion takeover of Pringles maker Kellanova ( K ),

an update on the European Commission website showed on Thursday.

The deadline for Mars to offer remedies was June 18.

Reuters reported on Wednesday that Mars was unlikely to

offer remedies for now to address the EU competition enforcer's

concerns about its high market shares in some products in some

European Union countries and its portfolio of strong brands.

People close to the matter said the EU antitrust watchdog

will launch a full-scale investigation into the deal at the end

of its preliminary review which finishes on June 25.
