Abattoirs to be ranked by hygiene scores

The hygiene scores of individual abattoirs will be released to the public following the governments announcement yesterday that it aims to improve the flagging hygiene standards of British meat plants. Agricultural minister Dr Jack Cunningham said the government would be introducing tough new measures for abattoirs to abide by and failure to do so would result in forced closure.
