Horsemeat (Food Fraud)

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Gwynne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 February 2013. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Horsemeat (Food Fraud).

I am astounded that the Secretary of State thinks that this is a mis-labelling issue, given that some beef products have not even come into contact with a cow—except perhaps sharing a field with one at some time. I am appalled when he says that there is not even a health issue. Should he not take responsibility for, and take more seriously, the potential for contamination of the human food chain by the drug bute, which is not fit for human consumption?
