A pork producer in an animal welfare scandal exposed by The Mail on Sunday faces difficult questions from investors when it reveals financial results this week.
Cranswick, which supplies major UK supermarkets, was thrown into crisis last Sunday after we revealed that workers at its Northmoor farm in Lincolnshire had been killing piglets by smashing them against floors and walls.
Footage showed pigs being beaten and kicked, plus botched killings.
The scandal is likely to dominate exchanges between Cranswick bosses and shareholders on Tuesday when it reports results for the year to March.
The firm's largest backers include investment giants such as JP Morgan and Vanguard as well as UK mutual fund Royal London.
