| Abstract: |
The largest supplier of chicken to UK supermarkets, which owns a factory in Derby, could be set to face a probe from a regulator after an investigation allegedly uncovered a series of food safety rule breaches. 2 Sisters Food Group, which owns a plant in Shaftesbury Street South, Derby, has been accused of tampering with food safety records following an investigation by ITV news and the Guardian. The investigation centred on a poultry processing plant belonging to 2 Sisters at West Bromwich, in the West Midlands. An undercover reporter working at the site claimed to witness workers tampering with slaughter dates to artificially extend the meat's shelf life. The investigation also claimed that meat of different ages was also mixed together and codes on crates of meat were changed. |
