Have you given some serious thoughts to the massive cost of this?

If 10 supermarkets selected one meat product at random every 3 months,
that would be 40 tests a year.

And they would test for *what*, precisely?

Non-beef DNA sequences, perhaps?

So the next thing will be whether anyone can get round such DNA tests.
So many other tests can be side-stepped it seems unlikely this will
remain unavoidable for long.
