Horrific animal suffering revealed at farm used by producer of Spanish sausages sold in Morrisons and on Amazon UKHorrific conditions of animal suffering have been revealed at a farm that supplied a brand of Spanish sausages that were sold in Morrisons and on Amazon UK.Investigators say they witnessed “deformed, diseased and dying” pigs in a centre producing meat for the El Pozo brand of meat products stocked by major stores, including Morrisons chorizo sausages.In “sickening scenes of illegal cruelty”, filmed by Animal Equality, they saw: Numerous animals with infected abscesses, ulcers and giant hernias Pigs with severe deformities Flies and larvae on open wounds Animals living alongside others already dead and dying Pigs too weak to fight back when trampled on or cannibalised by others Tiny piglets slowly dying Skips overflowing with corpsesAnimal Equality said that when it visited the Hermanos Carrasco, in the Murcia region last August, the farmer stated on film that meat goes into the human food chain and ultimately supplies Morrisons and Amazon UK. Some of the photos were the most shocking ever taken on a European farm, the campaigners claimed.

Carlsberg sweeps up 49% Olympic Brewery stake in GreeceCarlsberg has strengthened its position in Southern Europe after taking full control of Greece's Olympic Brewery.The Danish brewer today said it has acquired the remaining 49% of Olympic Brewery following its 51% stake purchase in 2014. That deal came after Olympic Brewery was formed through a merger of Carlsberg's Mythos Brewery and the independent Olympic to create Greece's second-biggest brewer behind Heineken's Athenian.Olympic Brewery operates two breweries, in Thessaloniki and Euboea. Its regional brands include Mythos, Mythos Radler, FIX Hellas, FIX Alcohol Free, FIX Dark, Kaiser and Henninger. The unit also brews Carlsberg lager, Tuborg and Somersby cider.Following the Mythos and Olympic merger, a rival Greek brewer, Macedonian Thrace, voiced concerns that Carlsberg and Heineken would "dominate" the local beer market and put pressure on new entrants. Thrace claimed that about 85% of Greece's beer market would be controlled by two "foreign multi-nationals".
