An “unfortunate freak accident” involving a fan blade at a Perth-based meat processing plant was revealed to be the cause of a major greenhouse gas leak.
The release of F-Gases (fluorinated gases) at Anglo Beef Processors (ABP) at the start of 2021 is the second largest incident of its kind in Europe’s food and drink sector.
ABP initially said the release at the Inveralmond Industrial Estate facility occurred following “machine failure” and that a new refrigeration system was subsequently installed.
