What I find rather disturbing is that no one in the whole long supply
chain, from abattoir to retail outlet, appears to have been routinely
testing that a batch of meat or product called "beef" really is 100%
beef.
PCR assays for horse could be made cheap enough for widespread surveillance,
but it's not really the right approach. If you have to figure out after the fact
what animal it came from, you really don't know enough about the suppliers.
What's the next yucky thing going to be that we then have to check all meat for?

Isn't that arse about face? We shouldn't be checking that beef isn't
horse - but that beef positively is beef! Anything else is not acceptable.
