Dr Sarah Wollaston (Totnes) (Con)
If negligent, incompetent or, indeed, criminal producers are happy to contaminate products with horsemeat, with what else would they be prepared to cut those products? Can the Secretary of State reassure my constituents that products have also been tested for non-meat adulterants?
Mr Paterson
That is a very important question. We have no evidence that any other meat product is being used to adulterate bovine, or processed bovine, products.
