A Freshlink spokesman said the plant has initiated a minimum 90-day consultation period with its workforce regarding the possibility of a restructuring of its operations, which may impact on the future of the site, resulting in the potential relocation of its business.
"This option is one of several currently under consideration, and a final decision is not expected for a number of months," the spokesman added.
Freshlink is a division of ABP food group, a leading food processor in Europe.
