Illegal meat imports found in 21 out of 22 lorries singled out for checking at Dover during just one 24 hour period.
Including 2.5tn of pork.

After last night's Panorama programme, we'd like to let all of our customers and followers know that here at Kingcott Dairy the welfare and health of our animals comes before everything else.
We deplore the behaviour shown and hope the farm is banned from keeping animals.
