According to reports in the Haverhill Echo yesterday local fire crews were called to the Vion Food site at Little Wratting following a chemical incident.

The Echo reported that phosphoric acid foam and sodium hypochloride, both cleaning agents, had caused a reaction once mixed together. One person was said to have been taken to a nearby hospital with reported breathing difficulties.
