Soup firm Baxters Food Group was fined £70,000 on September 22 after it admitted serious health and safety failings had caused a worker’s hand to become mutilated in a pie machine.
Jobs are threatened at up to three retail outlets for Baxters Foods, which is best known for its soups, but which also makes sauces, condiments, jams and marmalades.
Scottish manufacturer Baxters has begun production of Fray Bentos pies at its Fochabers plant – and has reinforced its global focus by snapping up another Australian food manufacturer.
