UK-based food manufacturer 2 Sisters Food Group (2SFG) has decided to temporarily suspend production activities at its Llangefni site as coronavirus (Covid-19) cases were confirmed at the facility.

The company said that the production at Llangefni will be suspended for 14 days with immediate effect.

2SFG in a statement said: “We will not tolerate any unnecessary risks – however small – for our existing loyal workforce at the facility.

“We have worked in close collaboration in the past week with Public Health Wales, Anglesey Council, the Health & Safety Executive, FSA and the Unite unio who have all offered great advice, scientific knowledge and support, and we thank them for their help and guidance, which has informed this decision.

“Our sole focus now is to ensure we support all our colleagues through this time and look forward to operating safely and securely in 14 days’ time.”

It further added that the health, safety and wellbeing of staff is the company’s top priority.
