Investing.com -- British meat producer Cranswick’s shares fell approximately 9% on Monday after UK supermarkets decided to suspend supplies from one of Cranswick’s farms due to concerns over animal welfare.

An investigation into these concerns is currently underway.

The decision by the supermarkets was prompted by a report from The Mail on Sunday newspaper.

The publication, over the weekend, released footage allegedly showing animal abuse at Cranswick’s North Moor Farm in Lincolshire.

The video purportedly showed workers at the farm engaging in abusive behavior towards the animals.

The supermarkets’ suspension of supplies and the subsequent investigation have led to a significant impact on Cranswick’s market performance.
