Kanes Foods, the Evesham firm that made bagged salads, stir-fry packs and sauces for major UK supermarkets, has collapsed into administration with 662 jobs lost. Administrators at PwC said a costly wastewater plant failure and this summer's drought, which hit fresh salad supplies, left it unable to survive after a rushed sale failed. All staff were sent home as the factory stopped trading on Monday.
