Lancashire patients and pupils get beef guarantee

9:00pm Tuesday 12th February 2013 in News

FOOD which is supplied to Lancashire schools and hospitals is 100 per cent beef, according to the organisations that provide the meals.

The Food Standard Agency has ordered food producers, together with councils, hos-pitals and prisons, to ensure the authenticity of all their beef products by making sure their suppliers carry out tests.

It comes after frozen foods firm Findus took beef lasagnes made by French food supplier Comigel off shelves after some were found to have up to 100 per cent horse meat in them.

Last month some burgers were also recalled from Tesco because traces of horse meat were found.

The Foods Standards Agency (FSA) has said there is no evidence to suggest the horse meat detected poses a danger to humans, but confirmed that tests have been ordered on products for the veterinary drug phenylbutazone as animals treated with “bute” are not allowed to enter the food chain.

Roger Eakhurst, Lancashire County Council’s assistant director for catering, said staff would be keeping a close eye on the measures and testing being introduced by the FSA.

Mr Eakhurst said: “We can reassure parents that the majority of beef and beef products served in school lunches are produced and delivered fresh from a local supplier. They have confirmed that they use only prime beef cuts sourced from regularly audited suppliers and that their products contain 100 per cent beef at all times.

A spokesman for East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust said: “We serve very little processed food to patients and in our two restaurants on the Royal Blackburn Hospital and Burnley General Hospital sites, but we are working with our suppliers to gain the assurance from them that all our meat is 100 per cent beef.”

The FSA has urged organisations to take action if suppliers’ assurances are not satisfactory, including a refusal to serve their products while waiting for authenticity test results.

Tesco have said that they will try to rebuild trust in their meat products among consumers. I think they are flogging a dead horse.

as you are a responsible citizen - i am somewhat surprised about your flippant attitude to this story......however they have withdrawn their fish fingers as they have found traces of sea horse!

the above story does not match the headline ..."THE MAJORITY of beef...are produced and delivered fresh from a local supplier. They have confirmed that they use only prime beef cuts sourced from regularly audited suppliers and that their products contain 100 per cent beef at all times. - note KEY WORD: THE MAJORITY - also note: Todmorden is local.

“We serve very little processed food to patients...but we are working with our suppliers to gain the assurance from them that all our meat is 100 per cent beef.” KEY WORDS "TO GAIN THE ASSURANCE"

THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEE

I think you will find (if you think about it) that my comment was a joke.

I'm quite happy to have a serious analysis of this story (how in our desire for cheap food we have been complicit in encouraging the supermarkets to create longer and lonegr food chains so that no-one really knows what they are eating). On the other hand just laughing at the mightly caught with their pants around their ankles is more healthy than burgers made with 60% horsemeat from who knows where..

I have eaten horse meat several times in France. There is nothing wrong with the meat. It tastes perfectly OK, very much like roast beef.
The crime here, is that these companies are not telling you it is horse meat, and people are thinking they are getting beef. Which is fraud.
If the price is much lower than roast beef, why not let people buy the meat (sold as horse meat), and let them decide if the taste and price is suitable for their budget?
Why do British people think it is wrong to eat horse meat?, after all it is only another farm animal.
I think people should worry more about the places which prepare food, some of the takeaways in this area are being fined for breaking the law as regards the hygiene standards, and get only one star when inspected.
These places pose a far greater danger to your health.
After all horse meat never did me any harm.

If you want to live in this country you should accept the food, and way of life which the native British people have for centuries.
I don't go to Pakistan and start to demand that pork should be on the menu.
Even a country such as Saudi Arabia which is Muslim, won't even allow you to take a bible into the country to read.
That's a sign how much Muslim people accept other cultures and religions
Why should the taxpayer be expected to provide Halal meat in schools and prisons?
If you don't like the food, go home. to get your Halal food in another country.

don't be daft - ban french bread and german sausage, pizza, chorizo, curry and singapore noodles, belgian beer, guacamole, potatoes, coffee, tea and chocolate, soda bread and haggis in england

so, where do you suggest the jews in north london and manchester go back to? and should all muslims and jews be force-fed bacon sandwiches. should we all be god fearing church of england? or are roman catholics allowed?

The people of these islands can eat food from any country of the world. That is called freedom of choice.We allow food from any country of the world into the country, to enable people to eat which ever food they choose to eat.
No person of any religion is being force to eat any food which they do not choose to eat.
What I am saying, is why should I have to pay for halal food? if you want it, pay for it yourselves, don't expect the taxpayer to pay for it. Eat what is already provided, for everybody else.
By the way it is normal in the British culture, to start some words with a capital letter, (that is a big letter to you),
It seems the English education system is not working very well with some people who come to this country.

Muslim businesses will be contributing what YOU seem to be losing sleep over, and obviouslly you missed the 'Multicultural business awards' news article just a couple a day's ago!
Personally I wouldn't think any muslim would expect any pork eater to contribute towards the cost of their hallal products and kosher products for the Jewish community, and whilst on the subject local hallal butchers are reporting an increase in the number of customers from the white community wishing to purchase meat products from their stores.
Now that wasn't difficult was it, until the next time you decide to post ill thought out needless comments.

Muslim businesses will be contributing what YOU seem to be losing sleep over, and obviouslly you missed the 'Multicultural business awards' news article just a couple a day's ago!
Personally I wouldn't think any muslim would expect any pork eater to contribute towards the cost of their hallal products and kosher products for the Jewish community, and whilst on the subject local hallal butchers are reporting an increase in the number of customers from the white community wishing to purchase meat products from their stores.
Now that wasn't difficult was it, until the next time you decide to post ill thought out needless comments.
They don't mind any other contributions though..Free nhs,benefits and more all supplied by the pork eaters,as well as a country,housing etc etc etc.
No obviously not and like wise they wouldn't mind contributing and filling the pockets of the swine lovers.

I don't go to Pakistan and start to demand that pork should be on the menu. Even a country such as Saudi Arabia which is Muslim, won't even allow you to take a bible into the country to read. That's a sign how much Muslim people accept other cultures and religions Why should the taxpayer be expected to provide Halal meat in schools and prisons? If you don't like the food, go home. to get your Halal food in another country.[/p][/quote]don't be daft - ban french bread and german sausage, pizza, chorizo, curry and singapore noodles, belgian beer, guacamole, potatoes, coffee, tea and chocolate, soda bread and haggis in england so, where do you suggest the jews in north london and manchester go back to? and should all muslims and jews be force-fed bacon sandwiches. should we all be god fearing church of england? or are roman catholics allowed?[/p][/quote]The people of these islands can eat food from any country of the world. That is called freedom of choice.We allow food from any country of the world into the country, to enable people to eat which ever food they choose to eat. No person of any religion is being force to eat any food which they do not choose to eat. What I am saying, is why should I have to pay for halal food? if you want it, pay for it yourselves, don't expect the taxpayer to pay for it. Eat what is already provided, for everybody else.
