Over half of sampled meat in the UK contains DNA from wrong animals

mercredi 19 mars 2014 à 13:00

A survey of over 100 samples of meat in the UK found that over half of them contained DNA from the wrong animals.

Failure to clean processing equipment could easily lead to trace amounts of the wrong meat; but I don't see how that could introduce contamination amounting to 5% of the product.

The prevalence of fraud suggests that testing should be carried out frequently, with high fines.
