BSE Scare And Food Safety

Sir, - I was horrified to hear that meat and bonemeal is still being fed to animals destined for the food chain. I have spent the best part of today on the phone to both the Department of Agriculture and An Bord Bia, attempting to find out if such pork products are being sold to Irish consumers. Neither was able to tell me.

If both these institutions insist that Irish beef is the safest in the world, yet they do not know what is happening to pork products, how can we believe anything they tell us ? - Yours, etc.,
