Meat seized in probe

PACKETS of cooked chicken breast were among items seized by police as a man faced questioning over allegedly contaminating supermarket products.

Yesterday three stores – a Tesco Express, Little Waitrose and Sainsbury’s Local – in west London remained closed following reports the suspect was injecting food with needles.

The Metropolitan Police said it is not known how many items have been contaminated, or with what substance, but the affected items are believed to be processed meat and microwaveable products.
