Factory workers have been left feeling "insulted" after being offered a pot noodle by their employers during the cost of living crisis.
Faltec Europe Ltd, based at the International Advances Manufacturing Park (IAMP) in Sunderland, told employees they will be providing a "free hot meal" to those who require it.
The meals which are being offered by the firm include pot noodles, porridge pots and pasta pots. The items, which include Mug Shots, cost around £1 to purchase in supermarkets.
