Working with other enforcement partners, FSA executed a search warrant at the Perkins’ poultry farm and abattoir in November 2023, finding evidence of traceability concerns and testing certificate falsification. The UK Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) supported subsequent investigation, monitoring the onsite welfare of the poultry and collecting official Salmonella samples. FSA acted to mitigate potential food safety risk by ensuring products with traceability concerns were removed from the market.
