She'd picked it up a few week ago and put it in the freezer. It was on offer at a £1.

And I'm not joking ;D

Won't be bothering this year, I could make my own burgers but don't trust the sausage now ;D

Post by: Slacker on February 10, 2013, 12:18:59 PM: It would be more of a scandal if found in veggie food. Morally there isn't much difference between eating any meat (though I'm not a veggie, should be)

Post by: simondjuk on February 18, 2013, 08:55:12 AM: Isnt a simple solution to this, just to print a load of sticks saying 'may contain horse meat' and sticking them on the packaging?

That way we wont be throwing away a load of food which is still fit for human consumption.

Post by: Pete on February 18, 2013, 10:26:56 AM: Horsemeat scandal: 'government warned two years ago'

The beleaguered minister at the centre of the horsemeat scandal, Owen Paterson, has asked the Food Standards Agency to investigate claims that the government was warned potentially harmful horsemeat could enter the food chain two years ago.

The environment secretary ordered the investigation after it was reported the government was warned in 2011 that horsemeat with possible drug residue was getting into food and that the situation could blow up into a scandal.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Post by: Alsatian on February 23, 2013, 01:31:13 PM: An alternative to horse burgers?

BTW - an image on the news last night showed some Birds Eye products that were under suspicion..................one of the items was Shepherds Pie - surely that's a lamb based product.?
