Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Steve Reed (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 January 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Horsemeat.

The Minister referred to cross-contamination being a source of trace DNA found in other food products. Does he accept that other meat derivatives, such as protein powders to bulk up products, could be deliberately included in processed food when their origins are unclear, because there is no secure system for labelling and tracking the source of such additives through the supply chain?
