Statements from Sainsbury’s and Tesco regarding Animal Aid’s Bedfordia investigation

Posted on the 30th July 2013

In a press release issued on 30 July 2013 about animal suffering found on pig farms owned by Bedfordia Farms Ltd, Animal Aid stated that the company in question supplied meat to both Tesco and Sainsbury's.
