Two killed in blast at Givaudan factory in Kentucky, company says

(Reuters) - Two workers were killed in an explosion at a plant belonging to Swiss colour and aroma maker Givaudan in Louisville, Kentucky, the company said on Wednesday.

Several others were injured in the incident, which occurred on Tuesday at Givaudan's Sense Colour factory in the south-eastern U.S. state, the Swiss group said in an emailed statement, without specifying how many.

In a statement dated Tuesday, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said firefighters had rescued many people from inside and first-responders transported 12 patients with various injuries ranging from minor to critical or life-threatening.

"We are in the early stages of investigating the cause of this incident and are cooperating with first-responders and supporting agencies," Givaudan said.

The local government said in a post on X that a shelter-in-place order had been issued for those within a one-mile radius of the site following to a "hazardous materials incident".
