  1. Fraudulent lamb Valerie Weets April 18, 2014

  2. The Problem • “The Foods Standards Agency (FSA) found that 43 out of 145 samples of lamb takeaways - usually curries or kebabs - were wrongly described” [1] • Conducted from July to December 2013 [3]

  3. At least there’s no horse meat • Mostly cheaper meats were found including beef, chicken, and turkey. No horse meat was found. • Some had no lamb. • Some couldn’t be tested. • False labeling misleads people and can also cause potential allergens. While meats do not have to be labeled as a main allergen, people can be allergic or intolerant to various meats.

  4. More Testing is Necessary • Another round of testing is to be done to ensure restaurants are not mislabeling. • £5,000 fine for mislabeling[3] ($8392.50 American)
