Tesco suspends meat supplier

Tesco has suspended meat purchases from the St Merryn Meat plant in
the face of a critical TV programme about production hygiene at the
plant. The supermarket chain, which is the UKs largest butcher with meat sales of £1bn a year, said incidents shown in the World In Action programme of meat being packed after falling on the floor were deplorable.
