The naming of a factory which was fined for the excess trimming of carcases has been delayed until December.
The factory in question was fined for the excessive trimming of three carcases in January 2019. Where carcase trimming is found to be non-compliant, an on-the-spot fine of €200 is applied.
No other incidences of excess trimming have been recorded this year.
