FSA meat testing survey expanded

The Food Standards Agency has expanded its UK-wide survey of food authenticity in processed meat products being carried out through local authorities. The survey, expanded to ensure that a wider range of products are sampled, will include a total of 514 products. The sampling for the first two phases will be carried out by 28 local authorities and will include beef-based foods that are sold pre-packed, or 'loose' (for example, cafe sandwiches). Sampling for the third phase will be allocated to other local authorities across the UK.
