To ask the Secretary of State for Health which horse premises are on the Food Standards Agency's cause for concern list.
There are no slaughterhouses approved for processing horses within the United Kingdom appearing on the Food Standards Agency's (FSA) cause for concern list.
As part of its ongoing investigation into the mislabelling of meat products the FSA and police entered two meat premises, one in West Yorkshire and the other in West Wales on
The plant in West Yorkshire is Peter Boddy Licensed Slaughterhouse, Todmorden, West Yorkshire, and we believe it supplied horse carcases to Farmbox Meats Ltd, Llandre, Aberystwyth. The FSA and the police are looking into the circumstances through which meat products, purporting to be beef for kebabs and burgers, were sold when they were in fact horse.
The FSA has suspended operations at both these plants. Both West Yorkshire and Dyfed-Powys police have entered the premises with the FSA. The FSA has detained all meat found, and seized paperwork, including customer lists from the two companies.
