Almost 550 jobs have been put at risk after Pilgrim's UK revealed plans to close a major site.
The company is proposing the closure of its Ashton-under-Lyne base as part of measures to "fully optimise its operational footprint across the UK and return to growth".
The business added that the plans form part of its ongoing footprint review as it "ensures the best structure for long-term growth and development, and for mitigating the current unfavourable market conditions in the UK".
