A mystery meat, which has defied
the best efforts of scientists to identify it, has been found in a lamb
curry as part of an investigation into food fraud.
The discovery raises new questions about just what is going into the nation’s takeaways and processed foods.
A
BBC documentary to be aired on BBC3 tonight sent samples of curries and
kebabs bought from six outlets in London for laboratory tests.

six London takeaways to be tested. Meat from one lamb curry could not
be identified as originating from any common meat source (stock image)

The meat in a Beef in Black
Bean Sauce dish turned out to contain high levels of chicken material
including blood, while a burger contained no beef at all, other than
blood and heart.

However, most alarming of all
was a curry. A spokesman for the programme said: ‘Just when we thought
things couldn't get any worse, the results came in for an Indian Lamb
Curry.
‘It did contain meat, but that meat was not lamb, not pork, nor was it chicken or beef. Not horse, and not goat either.’



Worry: A burger that was tested contained no beef at all, other than blood and heart

All of the many tests to date by the
lab used by the programme have failed to identify exactly which animal
was the source of the meat.
The
revelation raises many grim possibilities. There is evidence from
Spain, for example, of meat from dog carcasses being processed for use
in pet food.
This is not
the first time that a question mark has been put over the content of the
take-out dishes eaten by millions of Britons every day.
Just
last year, a survey of 20 lamb curries in the West Midlands found all
had been bulked up with cheaper beef, pork and chicken.
Amazingly,
four contained no lamb at all, rather the outlets used either beef or
chicken which was hidden beneath a powerful and spicy sauce.
At
the same time, a meat cutting plant in Wales has been accused of
supplying horsemeat from an abattoir in Yorkshire to companies making
kebabs and burgers for hundreds of independent take-aways.
The
discovery of horsemeat in big brand products sold by supermarkets like
Tesco and Asda, together with chains like Burger King and big brands
from Birds Eye to Findus, has changed the nation’s shopping habits. The
implication of take-out curries in food fraud could also hit the
industry hard.
