Reports that beef made in South America has reached our supermarkets and has been falsely labelled as British beef. Beef experts have said that this is not a food safety issue but is a fraud issue.
Toms solution. Just call it beef wherever it comes from. Surely cows do not realise whether they are British or South American.
It's all over the news |

One of the rare instances where the label hides a higher quality product.
South American beef puts British beef to shame. |

Rubbish! Local raised and slaughtered beef is far better to eat and for the planet (although may be biased as my son farms Linc's Reds) |

Its quite a moooving story. Reminds me of the Findus memes a few years back.
Let's face reality, there's scammers in every industry and corruption hinders regulation.
I'd bet my fave telletubbies onesie and sock set that Russian oil is diluted in UK fuel pumps somewhere. |

That is so far from the truth. British beef is produced to some of the highest standards in the world and has exceptionally high welfare standards for the animals too. If you rather eat meat products that are pumped full of steroids then shame on you. |

I worked in the Merchant Navy for many years and quite often on the South America routes bringing beef and horsemeat from Brazil and Argentina back to Europe and the UK.
The quality of Argentinian beef has akways been second to none, It's a fabulous product and I'd argue, much superior to any British product.
Years ago, many of the cattle farms in Argentina were owned by Brits and these same people had their own ships to transport the meat back to the UK, Houlder Brothers Shipping was one such company.
In summary, absolutely no need to label Argentinian beef as British. |

"Argentinian beef is far superior than any beef that comes from the UK or Ireland......in my opinion "
You need to define superior really.
The main reason that meat is labelled with its country of origin is so that consumers have a choice and knowledge of the animal welfare standards that the meat was raised under and some information about the distance travelled to acquire such meat (the "food miles")

Superior in quality, simple as that really.

Buy British beef or locally produced beef where you can. Support our farmers, they're having a rough time with cheap imported produce and need all the help they can get. |
