Losses of some EUR3.5m from the scare weighed on Unicopa’s bottom line. The company’s turnover stayed flat at EUR1.4bn.


The scare has already seen Unicopa’s poultry abattoir subsidiary, Tilly-Sabco, go into administration with the axing of around 125 jobs. A continuation plan for Tilly-Sabco will be presented to a commercial court in Brittany in September.


Poultry processing represents around a sixth of Unicopa’s business, the co-op’s main activities being in cold meats, dairy products and animal feed.
