Horsemeat (Food Fraud)

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

The Secretary of State has told us that this is an issue of fraud and mislabelling, but how can he be sure, given that the random testing seems to have involved only about 1.5% of horse carcases? How can he state so categorically that there is no health issue? If more comprehensive testing by the FSA proves that there is a health issue, will he then act unilaterally?
