Consumers were possibly at risk from contaminated meat, says FSA

Nov 4,2021 4:15 am

Consumers may in The Past have been At Risk from contaminated meat, the UK's food watchdog has admitted.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is investigating allegations a rogue meat supplier falsely labelled foreign pork as British, and mixed rotting pork with fresh products for processing.

Farmers Weekly, which first reported The Story , also claimed e-coli and listeria paperwork was falsified.

The FSA said there were no " current concerns" about meat on The Market .

But its chief executive Emily Miles told The Bbc 's Today programme it was " possible" people had been At Risk from contaminated meat in The Past .

The FSA started its initial investigation about mislabelling of products in August 2021 and seized More Than six million documents, which it said are now being gone through.

" The food safety allegations have been much more recent and we're following those up. We went to the premises last week and made three arrests and seized millions more documents, " Ms Miles said.

She Said it fell to local authorities to regulate meat processors and that the FSA was the " last line of defence for particularly serious allegations".

" What's meant to happen is that retailers and manufacturers, who are responsible for ensuring food is safe, have to be vigilant and do their own audits and sampling.

" The FSA is not on the ground the whole time at all, in fact we act On Intelligence . As soon as we got intelligence, we acted, " Ms Miles said.

Farmers Weekly, which said multiple sources had said it was common to mix rotting pork with fresh goods for further processing, also reported claims that meat was " sometimes thawed out on the Factory Floor ".

Deputy editor Abi Kay told Today: " Most concerningly, two employees said the paperwork which would Pick Up bacteria like listeria and e-coli, was falsified.

" That is no joke, listeria and e-coli can kill people. "

Ms Kay also explained how the alleged fraud worked by buying a " relatively small volume of British meat" from an approved supplier.

" Then they would use the traceability information from this delivery for all the products it made in that week with the majority Coming In from elsewhere in The World .

" One source even said they were 100% confident that all the retailers The Company it supplied had been victims of country-of-origin fraud. "

Farmers Weekly believed This Was not a one-off and claimed to have evidence this went much further than The One business currently under investigation and raised questions about the audit process.

" In this factory when the auditors visited, they would show up unannounced, but they had a certain amount of time between signing in to the premises and being allowed onto the Factory Floor .

" In that short space of time a text message would go out and all the staff would move any suspect products onto lorries, the loading bay or a trolley and push it Round One side of The Factory while auditors and management were on The Other .

" That is how ridiculous this is, " she added.

Ms Miles admitted the FSA needed to look at the audit process and whether it could be " tightened up".
