“Morrisons and Sainsbury’s now have nowhere to hide” – Which? response as another major supermarket publishes its plan to tackle campylobacter
In response to another major supermarket publishing its plan to tackle campylobacter, Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd said:
“We welcome Asda publicly committing to tackling campylobacter throughout its supply chain. With only two supermarkets left to publish their action plans, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s now have nowhere to hide.
“We want both retailers to publish detailed plans with firm timescales, setting out exactly what they will to do to protect their customers from campylobacter. The plans must become clear actions that lower levels of this potentially deadly bug.”
Notes to editors:
– Nearly 35,000 people have signed up to our ‘Make Chicken Safe‘ campaign
– Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Co-operative, Aldi, Iceland and now Asda have all published their plans to tackle campylobacter
– As part of our campaign we wrote an open letter to Asda, Co-operative, M&S, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose calling on them to make publicly available plans on how they will tackle campylobacter, with clear timescales for action
