Burgers row: Tesco ends €15m Silvercrest deal after 'great breach of trust'

Tesco is to cease taking any products from frozen meat products supplier Silvercrest after what it calls a "great breach of trust" in the recent horsemeat controversy.

The value of the supermarket's contract with ABP Foods-owned Silvercrest is €15m. Tesco will continue to purchase fresh Irish beef worth more than €100m a year from other ABP companies.
