The managing Director of the meat group Tönnies, Clemens Tönnies, is unhappy with the planned more stringent rules for the meat industry. “We are a group to get ban. Under the companies should be banned, only one owner has to give it to,” said Tönnies in a Thursday Interview published in “food magazine” (online). The Manager lamented that the company will be taken by the new law, “the possibility of specialization and the ability to respond to market events”. “I have to, but sausages and ham produce and can cut at a different point and packaging. With Veggie sausage and cheese I’m allowed to. Since the discussion is necessarily needed,“ said Tönnies.
