Description
Defra is undertaking a focussed informal survey of approx. 350 meat and fish products to verify compliance with compositional standards and labelling.
Sample collection and screening analysis to check for labelling mis-description is being undertaken by FERA Science Ltd. Samples are analysed using an appropriate DNA-based multi-analyte screen which encompasses pork, beef, lamb, turkey, chicken, goat and equine species. White fish samples are analysed using a multi-analyte screen which encompasses cod, pollack and pangasius.
Those samples which are screened as positive (for a species not declared on the label) and a proportion of screen-negative results, are to be submitted for independent confirmatory analysis by a third party laboratory, using appropriate DNA-based methodology for species verification and an assessment of how much is present
