Heinz’s frozen and chilled foods facility near Norwich remains closed, 12 days after a devastating fire that destroyed the area of the site that produces Aunt Bessie’s potato products.
A Heinz spokesman told FoodManufacture.co.uk this morning that progress towards restarting production was "progressing well", although he didn't give a specific target date.
Asked whether Heinz had discovered more information about how the fire started (it began in an industrial fat fryer), he said an investigation was still ongoing.
