| Abstract: |
In 2013, Ireland's Food Safety Authority (FSA) ran a variety of tests on frozen beef patties sourced from various supermarkets throughout the region. The idea was to see whether the meat had been altered or tainted. To their surprise, they found that over a third of the patties they tested had traces of DNA associated with horses. After the discovery, FSA officials reported their findings to their UK equivalent as the country shares the same supermarkets. Traces of horse DNA were found in their meat as well. |
