Halal meat processing factory faces court injunction for misusing bakery equipment

A Bolton Halal chicken factory has been ordered by the court to stop using bread baskets and other equipment belonging to Bakers Basco, for transporting its products without permission, in addition to paying £3,000 in costs.

The court hearing followed a number of occasions on which Bolton Halal Chicken Ltd was found to be using the equipment, which is designed for the sole purpose of transporting bread and other bakery products, for transporting their own meat based products.

Steve Millward, General Manager at Bakers Basco, said: “Our baskets and dollies are designed for one sole purpose and that is to transport bread safely, cost-effectively and in an environmentally-friendly way. When people divert them for their own use, it not only has a knock-on effect on the bakers that pay to license them but also on retailers and, at the end of the day, the public, all of whom end up footing the bill for the actions of a small minority.”
