The company that makes pet food Whiskas is reassuring customers it is doing everything it can to bring an end to modern day slavery.

Greenpeace has accused the company of sourcing fish from Thai suppliers connected with forced labour.

"Mars is committed to eradicating any forced labour practices in any aspect of our supply chain," Mars General Manager Gerry Lynch says.

Mr Lynch says the company working is working with organisations like the World Wildlife Fund to maintain ethical practices.
