"Supermarkets have been selling expired meat for years", investigation

The UK government is considering tightening controls on the Food Standards Agency (FSA) following news that expired pork products have been allowed to be sold on supermarket shelves.

Theresè Coffey, Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), told the House of Commons on Thursday that she would look at bringing the FSA under her department's control.

An investigation by trade publication Farmers Weekly found that until at least the end of 2020, one of the UK's leading food producers had been selling mislabelled and rotten meat to retailers.

The meat produced by the supplier, who has not yet been identified, is reported to have ended up in products such as ready meals, sandwiches and other products sold at Tesco, Asda, the Co-op, Morrisons and Marks & Spencer.

The FSA, a non-ministerial agency overseen by the Department of Health and Social Care, which is responsible for public health related to food in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, has launched an investigation into suspected supply chain fraud.

EFRA committee chairman Robert Goodwill told the Guardian that after speaking to the Farmers Weekly team after the investigation and reading the reports, it was clear that inspectors appeared to have been misled by the company, which hid the rotten meat in trucks or parts other parts of the factory, while the inspectors had a cup of tea and put on their protective clothing.
