German Grocers Halt Supplier Over Alleged Waterfowl Abuse at Brandenburg Slaughterhouse

Major retailers are demanding a full investigation after NGO footage alleged mistreatment of geese and ducks at a facility supplying the Dithmarscher-Geflügel brand.

Overview

  • Edeka, Kaufland, Rewe and the Bünting Group have suspended deliveries from the supplier pending complete clarification of the allegations.
  • Lorenz Marken Geflügel in Seddiner See, Brandenburg, is identified as the facility implicated by the animal-rights group Aninova.
  • Retailers said existing stock already in stores will be sold, but no new orders will be placed until the review is concluded.
  • Rewe confirmed it has stopped the supplier relationship and called for a thorough investigation and measures to prevent future violations.
  • Media reports say the slaughterhouse has dismissed one employee and issued a warning to another as Aninova evaluates additional footage.
