Sainsbury is to cut Dungannon Meats out of its fresh beef supply chain as it moves to source all of its fresh beef from Anglo Beef Processors.
Dungannon immediately announced plans to close its Elmgrove Foods facility in Belfast with the loss of 30 jobs and review the rest of its operations.
Dungannon Meats, MD, Jim Dobson said: “Dungannon supplies around 40% of Sainsbury’s beef products and its decision to move to a single supplier will impact both on our group operations and our suppliers.”
Ian Merton, director of fresh food at Sainsbury said the move would improve transparency in the supply chain and offer more stability to the beef industry.
