Probe into meat 'falsely labelled' as British at supermarkets
By Emma SimpsonBusiness correspondent, BBC News
A criminal investigation is under way into allegations that a rogue meat supplier falsely labelled huge quantities of foreign pork as British.
The Food Standards Agency is also looking into claims that The Firm also mixed rotten pork with Fresh Meat .
It is understood the meat may have ended up in many UK supermarkets.
, which first reported The Story said that The Company was passing off industrial scale quantities of foreign pork as British.
It said this may have been in products up until at least 2020 and could have been included in many items such as ready meals, quiches and sandwiches sold in A Number of UK supermarkets, with schools, hospitals, care homes and prisons also indirectly supplied.
It is understood that the Food Standards Agency's National Food Crime Unit (NFCU) started its initial investigation into The Firm in September 2021.
Andrew Quinn , deputy head of the Food Standards Agency's NFCU, said The Unit was " carrying out a criminal investigation into how one supplier allegedly provided products labelled as British when they were in fact sourced from South America and Europe".
" The Initial retailer was notified at the same time the NFCU acted against the food business suspected of The Fraud , " he added.
" We Are looking into all new lines of enquiry with our partner organisations, including any potential food hygiene breaches, and acting where necessary to protect Public Health .
" At a time when cost pressures and other challenges mean the risks of food fraud might be increasing, it is vital that everyone involved in the Food Chain works to ensure that food is safe and what it says it is. "
Retail industry lobby group, The British Retail Consortium said it could not comment on an ongoing investigation.
" Whilst we cannot comment on an ongoing investigation, retailers will support the FSA with its investigation into the individual supplier in question, " it added.
The Food Standards Agency is not naming The Business involved whilst it continues to gather evidence and so as not to prejudice any possible future action by the courts.
