One in five meat products in the UK contain ‘unspecified animal’ By Brinkwire on July 10, 2019 The horsemeat scandal of 2013 sparked outrage among British shoppers. But despite national outcry, hefty fines and products being recalled throughout Europe, the ‘food fraud’ remains an issue today. A probe has revealed up to one in five animal-based products sold in the UK contain meat that has not been declared on the label. Cuts to trading standards budgets are said to be allowing cheaper cuts of meat from different animals to pass through the manufacturing process. |
