| Abstract: |
Six years on from the horsegate scandal that shook Britain and the following crackdown, shoppers should feel confident their meat is what the label says it is. But the Mirror has discovered customers are still being ripped off, with one in five products containing cheaper cuts from different animals. The Food Standards Agency carried out 69 tests between June 2018 and May 2019 and found 12 items were contaminated with “unspecified meat or DNA species not declared on the label”. There was ham that contained no ham, lamb doner kebabs without a trace of lamb and pork sausages that also had lamb and beef in them. |
