Horsemeat

Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 February 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Horsemeat.

I take on board what the hon. Lady says. I believe that the tests that are being conducted will look for equine presence up to 1%, not to 0.1%. That relates to the pork found last week in halal products that were supplied to a prison. Is she saying that it is not possible to guarantee to consumers from certain faith groups that we can never get rid of traces of other animals? What does that mean for factories branding themselves as halal? Does that mean that they can no longer deal with pork products?
