Horsemeat (Food Fraud)

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

Given the concerns about horsemeat, and given the announcement at the end of January that pork DNA had been found in pies that were supposed to be halal, many of my constituents are naturally anxious about the classification of halal meat. Can the Secretary of State tell us what meetings he has had with halal certification organisations, and can he reassure my constituents that meat that is labelled halal is indeed halal?
