Cranswick results spoiled by more bad headlines about animal treatment

  • Cranswick PLC (LSE:CWK) said it is launching an independent review of its animal welfare practices and UK livestock operations following reports of animal mistreatment at one of the farms in its network, which led to grocers Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons suspending supplies.  The FTSE 250 company said it had suspended operations at Northmoor Farm in Lincolnshire after covert video footage appeared to show workers using banned methods to kill piglets.
