I'd be a bit worried about the fairy cakes just now too...

Is the Cock a Leekie soup OK?

Wouldn't rush out to buy your supermarket burgers just yet. Have it in very giid authority that a branch of a very large chain has them in the storeroom freezer. question is whether that's an over-sight - removed them from shelves and forgot the freezer or maybe it's the stuff from the shelves?

If that is replicated across other branches and other supermarkets let's hope that the food testers keep up their work or the supermarkets fairly mark then as containing bits of horse and pig.

Your not safe, apparently traces of uniqourn have been found in veggie burgers

If anyone saw Quorn being made i doubt they would eat it.!!

It is grown in Huge stainless steel tanks and looks and smells disgusting prior to production.

I sometimes have it made into chilli, when the strong flavours are able to mask the rancid natural taste, which is something akin to wet cardboard.

Exactly ... the problem is not the labelling but the control and monitoring of the supply chain.

As a certain admin has pointed out elsewhere, you'll notice that the reports say horse DNA not horse meat, these are economy products, meat content will be low.

rlTesco, which sold a beefburger containing "29 per cent horse "meat""rl ,blamed the suppliers, saying they were either guilty of illegality or gross negligence.
Almost a 1/3rd horse meat, so not exactly just DNA traces. Traces of Cow DNA is usually what you get in economy beef burgers.

rlTesco drops Silvercrestrl

They're also introducing DNA tests on meat products.

[iThe statement concludedsignificant investment for Tesco, borne by Tesco.[/i - Yeah right. So Tesco will be paying for these tests from their own pockets or shareholder dividends?

Now I'm certainly no expert on genetics but I assumed that a DNA tests needed to be tailored to identify a specific animal/species and also how long are these tests going to take? The meat will probably be off before they're completed

It's bad anyway, but if the story from the [iGuardian[/i the other week is true, that it's actually 'drind' – dehydrated rind, which can be listed as 'seasoning' on a packet, so you've no chance of expecting that one – then it's far worse. Because for that to happen you're not talking about an accident.

I wonder if this fiasco will convert many people to making their own meals from scratch?
It ought to but somehow I don't think it will.

I mean, how hard is it to make a burger?
