The trial of food distribution company bosses accused of changing the labels on out-of-date food has been delayed again.

Kim Son and sister company Longdan Ltd, both based at the same address in Estate Way, Leyton, were raided by trading standards officers in April last year after a tip-off from a former employee.

Originally set to begin on June 13, the hearing has been pushed back numerous times since then.

The owners had been due to appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court in Bow tomorrow.

It is not known why the hearing was postponed.

The hearing is now set to begin on November 15.
