In February, horse DNA was detected in a single batch of meat delivered to Fraisnor by a supplier. Fraisnor said the batch was marked as beef.

A court today (22 May) backed the recommendation of the company’s administrator Fraisnor be closed.

Prior to the scandal, Fraisnor, which employs 110 staff, was producing 700 tonnes of beef and pork lasagne monthly sold under supermarkets’ private labels.
