"Food factory shut in horsemeat row"

Does this mean that the burgers were ravenously consumed, in other words, 'bolted'?

"It is concerning to see your report (Horsemeat discovered in burgers sold by four British supermarkets, 16 January), but this is by no means a new problem. Adulteration of foods, meaning the addition of impure, improper, or inferior ingredients, has been identified in the UK since the 1800s. Bakers would whiten their bread with chalk and sawdust and brewers would add bitter substances to save on the cost of hops. The first Food Adulteration Act was passed in the UK in 1860. However, worrying cases, concerning not only food standards but food safety, have continued to surface. One such case was in 1985, when European wine was found to be adulterated with diethylene glycol, commonly used as a component of "antifreeze".
Food adulteration has been here since the beginning of time and, despite the measures taken to enforce food standards, will keep food authorities busy for many years to come.

I read this, this morning:
Lamb missing from kebabs
An investigation by West Sussex trading standards officials has found that eight out of ten lamb doner kebabs contain other meats. Takeaways were caught wrongly labelling dishes made with "significant" amounts of poultry, beef and even veal. Christine Field, the council's public protection cabinet member, said: "Mis-describing food is a serious matter".
Mis-describing food may be a serious matter, it's also quiite common.
Seems pointless having a lamb-kebab with no lamb in it.

Yes Mr Austin about the bread,that happen in the history of the mill in River over 100 of years ago the white chalk was put in some flour for London because they wanted it more white,and it killed two members of the public many more were ill.That is just one of the very good storys told you if you do trip round it,

I see in the paper today that a pantomime horse was ejected from from a branch of Tesco after it was found to be rummaging among the frozen burgers crying "Mummy, Daddy!".
Tesco have no sense of humour.

Love it Gary. Going back to Peter's comment about a dog's microchip, at least there was traceability! More than can be said for some meat.

Nothing ever surprises me about what manufacturers put in their processed foods.
No doubt profit related always, and to bulk out the product to make it look bigger.
Anyone worried should not buy processed foods.

Typical! You go into a Kebab shop expecting donkey or canine and they fob you off with decent meat! You just can't get the service, not like the 'olde' days of yore.
