And now I've finally had a chance to see the processing plant behind the steak. One very hot morning I travelled to Ellesmere in Shropshire and the ABP abattoir. ABP are making some big claims about the environmental impact of their revamped plant.

The route they follow is a series of loops that curve back on each other, something that keeps them calm according to research. The space is airy, with natural light and fans to bring in plenty of fresh air.After slaughter, the carcasses move along a fast and much noisier production line with plenty of people and lots of high-tech equipment.
But farmers can also link it directly to what an animal has been fed and how long it took to raise. Interestingly, ABP says this data could also be used to help reduce the carbon footprint of animals.The 'meat photobooth' uses these shadow lines for some measurements to assess the quality of the carcass in seconds
