News Consumers duped into buying out-of-date chicken The UKs largest supplier of supermarket chicken has suspended production, after an investigation by The Guardian and ITV revealed chicken past its use-by date is being sold in five supermarkets. Undercover footage filmed at the 2 Sisters Food Group plant shows workers altering the slaughter date of poultry, which could cause incorrect use-by dates to be printed on the packaging. Workers were also told to alter records of where chickens were slaughtered, which could hamper recalls of contaminated meat during food scares. The investigation also found: Meat from chickens slaughtered on different dates was being packaged together and the use-by dates referred to the freshest meat, rather than the oldest Poultry dropped on the floor was put back on the production lines Meat returned by a supermarket was repacked and sent for sale by another retailer The 2 Sisters Food Group allegedly supplies several of the UKs main retailers, includingTesco, Sainsburys, Marks & Spencer, Aldi and Lidl. According to The Guardian, all five have now suspended deliveries from the plant. Officers from the Food Standards Agency have gone into the plant, and, while they have not found any breaches of regulations, the FSA says it will continue to review the evidence and, if any incidences of noncompliance are found, we will take prompt and proportionate action with the business concerned, working closely with the local authority. The 2 Sisters Food Group says it will remain closed while it retrains its staff in food safety and quality management.
