Horsemeat

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

The Minister has rightly drawn attention to the success of testing in the meat processing and abattoir sectors, but what is his view on the situation we have just come across involving five horses that were tested and identified as having bute in them, and although they did not enter directly into the UK chain, it was too late to stop them potentially entering the food chain elsewhere in the EU? Is that acceptable? What has gone wrong? They should not be entering the human food chain at all.
