Group calls for Galtee boycott over meat claims

CONSUMERS have been urged to boycott the Galtee, Shaws and Roscrea brands amid claims they contain non-Irish pigmeat.

A war of words developed yesterday between Breeo Foods — which manages the Galtee brand — and an action group which mounted a 100-strong protest outside the plant in Mitchelstown, Co Cork.

Save Galtee Action Group plans to place a number of large posters around Munster claiming many of the products don’t contain Irish meat, but imported food.
