Police-Investigation
The second most popular article of the month focused on “a malicious act of contamination” at one of Bakkavör’s sites, which cost the chilled food manufacturer £1M.
The firm refused to reveal the scene of the crime but said its third-quarter results statement: “A malicious but isolated act of contamination at one of our factories in August led to its temporary closure, consequent loss of sales, and one-off costs.”
A spokeswoman for the Food Standards Agency told FoodManufacture.co.uk: “It’s an on-going investigation with the police, so I’m afraid we can’t provide any further information at this stage.”
