This departure comes a few months after a joint investigation by the Guardian and ITV uncovered 2 Sisters Food Group factory workers altering slaughter dates on crates of chicken and adding poultry which had been dropped on to the floor back on the production line.
Boparan added: “These changes are the right ones to make at a very important stage in our business’s history and they help secure strong foundations for future development and growth. These are further major transformative steps in a journey to build a better business with a world-class leadership team.”
The search for a new CEO for 2 Sisters Food Group is currently underway, external and internal candidates under consideration.
