Keken employees kept people and the media away from the premises, and a group of workers who were arriving to work were prevented from entering the premises.
Rodrigo Cejudo Valencia, manager of institutional relations of Kekén, reported that the fire apparently originated in an engine in the area of regular cuts, where the meat is processed, and it spread quickly to other parts of the packaging process area.
He admitted that unquantifiable losses are expected, as all operational areas would have been consumed by the flames.
