Sir, – I am concerned about the origin of meats in independent butchers.
All meats should be clearly labelled but are not. I avoid buying loose meats because I cannot be sure of the origin.
I would like to see meats sold at the counter having to meet the same standards as pre-packed meats with regards to labelling.
The horsemeat scandal gave independent butchers a boost, but unclear labelling and misinformation about origin of meats will drive consumers back to the supermarkets. – Yours, etc, DEREK O’SULLIVAN Buncrana, Co Donegal.
