An interesting email from the head honcho at Tesco came through this
morning. It details how they are setting up a full DNA testing programme
for all of their meat products, and making their supply chains open and
transparent to the customers. They are clearly taking the whole thing
very seriously - as they should, of course - but seem to be implying
that as a result of their testing, and new on-going monitoring
processes, they *will* be able to say with 100% certainty, exactly what
is in the product. I would agree that it should be routine to determine
this from the DNA testing, as the police forensic labs seem to manage to
be able to separate the tiniest traces of DNA from larger bulks.

And setting up live video cameras in all suppliers? So, at least if they
look, they can see what is being done. And the suppliers (at whichever
level of the chain) never know if they are being actively watched.
Especially if available to all via the web.

The only big negative (other than cost) is that the employees should,
perhaps, be allowed some personal privacy.
