Production was originally stopped on 12 February following a raid by police and FSA officials investigating the discovery of horsemeat in processed beef products. | |
The firm's owner Dafydd Raw-Rees insisted at the time there had been no cross-contamination at the cutting plant and said he felt he had been "picked on". | |
Farmbox Meats was allowed to re-open operating under conditional approval in March. | |
But the FSA then decided to withdrawn the approval over hygiene standards, which the company disputed. | |
In April, Mr Raw-Rees, 64, said he planned to appeal against the decision, and threatened to take legal action against the FSA. | |
Leonard Curtis Recovery was appointed the company's receivers on 6 June after a hearing at Manchester High Court. |
