A UK supermarket chain is under investigation after South American and European beef was sold with a British label, the National Food Crime Unit has said.
The supermarket chain has not been named by NFCU, which is part of the Food Standards Agency, but it has been confirmed that meat products from South America and Europe have been supplied to the retailer and labelled as British.
Shadow environment secretary Jim McMahon said: "We were told the lessons of the horsemeat scandal had been learnt, but unfortunately this investigation could cast that into doubt."There are clearly very serious questions to answer and it's right that an urgent investigation is currently under way.
"The retailer was notified on the same day that we took action against the food business suspected of the fraud and immediately removed all affected products from their shelves," he said.
