Al-Ummah Halal Poultry Limited in Barnsley, a large town in South Yorkshire, England, was sentenced under new guidelines earlier this week after pleading guilty in Magistrates Court to food safety related violations.
The company which operates a poultry slaughterhouse in Barnsley, was fined £22,000 after pleading guilty to eleven offences, including failure to:
- remove viscera from poultry carcasses after slaughter;
- prevent spillage of digestive tract contents onto poultry; and
- comply with a Remedial Action Notice which was served regarding poor evisceration.
The company was found not guilty in relation to six other charges.
