What I find rather disturbing is that no one in the whole long supply

Why was this only really picked up by random food testing by a small

I'm glad I stopped eating meat 20+ years ago...

Me too ;-)

I does make one wonder exactly what other foodstuffs are being
sold to us under false descriptions?

Quorn as a veggi food, it has chicken egg in it.
It does actually say that somewhere but veggies don't read much.


Reading accounts of the sort of adulteration that was common in
less enlightened times, used to feel like ancient history. Now I
am pondering how much we have actually moved forward.
