Potential food safety breaches uncovered at UK's largest supermarket chicken supplier in ITV News/Guardian investigation

2 Sisters is the largest supplier in the UK of chickens to supermarkets but an investigation by ITV News and the Guardian has uncovered a series of potential breaches of food safety rules in one of the company’s factories.

Our undercover reporter got a job at "Site D" in the West Midlands, which processes fresh chicken for Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Lidl and Marks and Spencer. But he found evidence that suggests some of the chicken 2 Sisters produces from this factory may not be as fresh as the use by date suggests.

Our reporter filmed workers changing both the date of slaughter and the source codes on crates of chicken crowns in such a way that artificially extended the meat’s shelf-life and rendered it almost untraceable in the event of an outbreak of food poisoning.

Fraport to Demand Compensation from Greece over Regional Airports

Germany’s Fraport is to demand compensation of around 70 million euros from the Greek government, for the deficient maintenance of some of the regional airports, Der Spiegel says.

The company has concluded a survey of the airports and it has found that at 14 regional airports its assets were significantly degraded at the time of their takeover, in relation to the date of submission of the financial offer.

Der Spiegel says that the survey has found a large number of broken doors, thousands of broken lamps and shortcomings in fire-fighting equipment that pose security concerns.
