| Summary : | This study looked at whether beef, pork, lamb, apple juice, tomatoes and honey labelled as being from the UK, or the Republic of Ireland, were actually from where it was claimed. SIRA was used to screen foods against their country of origin claims and allowed targeted follow-up investigations using traceability. |
