VION, Europe’s largest meat group, is proposing to re-structure its British sausage processing business which will result in the transfer of all operations currently undertaken at the Sheffield site to the VION Hall’s site at Broxburn in Scotland.
Both the Sheffield and Broxburn sites are under-utilised and operate significantly below capacity, which impacts on operational costs. The Broxburn site could accommodate all of Sheffield’s production, as well as offer the potential for further expansion in the years ahead. As a result of the proposed re-structuring, the VION Sheffield site is at risk of closure, with 205 jobs potentially affected.
I have been using HALL’S products for many years and had been looking forward to the “Chicken Balmoral”, I had purchased from the Tesco Irvine store. I cooked the product according to the instructions on the label. When my daughters and I tasted it we found the chicken to be tough and the haggis tasted like sausage meat. All in all it was unedible and our lunches ended up in the bin. I have had to shop and cook another lunch for the family. This is such a waste of food, energy money and time all of which I can not afford.
Very disappointed.
