Food Standards Agency: Food chain is 'long and complex'

Food Standards Agency director Steve Wearne said it was "completely unacceptable" that pork traces were found in food that had been marked Halal.

He said the FSA had identified who had supplied the meat to the prison in question but, as "the food chain is long and complex," they had yet to identify the offending ingredient and its source.

He said they were still working to confirm whether any other products had been affected.
