Horse meat found in supermarket beef burgers!

[Gramaisc]

I remember being rather annoyed when the uni removed chilli pizzas during the BSE scare.

There was a recent consultation on a proposal to cease BSE testing in cattle this year - http://www.defra.gov.uk/consult/2012/11/21/stopbse-testing/ ...

No beef in Staffordshire schools

The way things are going there probably wasn't before!

I guess its our fault if we buy it because it was cheap and not theirs for labelling it correctly and ensuring they don't cross contaminate.

At least human DNA has not been found yet ? Do they test for that ?

Just been watching 'Fake Britain' on BBC1.

Turns out a lot of the take-away pizza places have been putting halal turkey on pizzas but selling them as 'ham'. Their explanation being they don't eat pork and it's against their religion to handle it , but they needed to market it as ham or they would lose custom.

Can you trust anyone anymore?

Perhaps.

Not.
