STORY: Sausage rolls unaffected as Greggs factory staff test positive

Greggs said a small number of the 300 workers at the chain's production hub north of Newcastle have tested positive for COVID-19. Asa a result, bosses have moved to close down production.but the company has insisted supplies of its sausage rolls will be unaffected.

The firm is now working with local public health teams to minimise the impact on the wider community.

A Greggs spokesperson said: "Following a small number of colleagues having tested positive for COVID-19 at our Balliol manufacturing facility, we have taken the decision to temporarily stop production as a precautionary measure to keep our teams as safe as possible."

The firm said that even though production had been halted, they had a large reserve of frozen stock which would ensure supplies reach their 1,700 shops around the UK.
