IN THE WAKE OF HORSEMEAT SCANDAL -- UPDATED 22 May, 2017


Update 22 May, 2017
The Scandal like all the others definitely died and who is to know we still do eat horses' flesh? My guess is any controls and checks had been stopped. After all, it is again a money spinner; besides where do hundreds of horses go?  Race horses have a very short live unless they are top and kept as studs. Race horse' owners and owners of meat repertoires are a powerful league and some bound to be Tories' friends and donors.  

UPDATE:  10 June, 2015 --  The horse meat scandal had died down with other news hitting the headlines it has completely vanished off the screen. However, how do we know whether they do not just carried on happily or is there now a food quality controlled installed?  The public should not be left just like that and not knowing whether there is still horse meat mixed into beef labelled as 100 per cent beef or beef. Even this scandal would not have been discovered if it would not been for the Irish. Therefore, it  is most likely the swindle is still on. 

After the horse meat scandal which was horse meat mixed in with the beef and labelled ‘Beef’ or 100 percent Beef’ the EU brought in new rules expecting labels identifying the correct content of the food package.

Prime Minister David Cameron went to Brussels to attend meetings.  He demanded that the label suggested by the EU should be scrapped.  Mr Cameron’s reason for the move is that it would strangle businesses. This reason is very hard to understand especially after the horse meat scandal.  He is trying to protect the suppliers not having to declare the correct contents.

PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.

It shows again that it would be all right for the public but he himself bakes his own bread with a flour especially from the Cotswold costing £4.35 per kilo.

As far as the public was informed there was never a prosecution of the guilty parties of the horsemeat scandal.

Mr Cameron also promised, in general, to cut the ‘Red Tapes’ which strangles British business but does he mean in this case the food packages are not labelled correctly according to the contents?

The Shadow Environment Secretary Maria Eagle said: “Consumers rightly want to know what they are eating where it has come from.”  This is exactly what the consumer wants and she is so right in putting this point forward.

It is the same case with GM products.  The EU demands food packages are labelled showing the products contains GM food but Mr Cameron will not put this into practice for obvious reason he knows people will not buy it. 

These are nothing but draconian rules which Mr Cameron keeps practising more and more, not only in the food industry.

His plan was to persuade other EU leaders to ditch the new proposed labelling.
