South Africa - Meat tests increased
SOUTH African health authorities have stepped up random tests on meat and other foods in supermarkets after a study showed that donkey, goat and water buffalo have been added as unlabelled ingredients in meat products.
The investigation started last month in response to a scandal in Europe where horse meat was labelled as beef, officials said.
It took on more urgency after University of Stellenbosch researchers said on Tuesday that unconventional and unlabelled ingredients were found in nearly two thirds of South African hamburgers and sausages tested.
Shares in major South African retailers fell following the disclosure.
