Meat
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment she has made of the effect on (a) animal and (b) human health of the production process for desinewed meat.
- Answer
-
I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Department of Health.The Food Standards Agency, which has policy responsibility in this area, states that there is no evidence that eating meat produced by the low-pressure desinewed meat process is a health risk. The European Commission has stated that they do not consider this to be an identified public health concern. There are no implications for animal health.
