    At least we can still eat beef, chicken, fish, ham and bacon. It's only pork that's affected right? :)

    Joke?

    any pig product is affected. so that means bacon, ham, pork, rashers, sausages, chops, pudding, cold meats also. also means ham on pizzas etc....

    But if you can't put all that between two slices of pork, what's the point in living any more????

    Hold on this feed was used at beef farms too
    ontaminated feed was used at a total of 47 farms.

    Nine of these were pork producing farms. The remaining 38 were beef farms, with one of those also producing pork products.

    MORE in fact.

    Looks like we're all veggies for xmas

    Maybe a daft question. The public are being asked to destroy what they bought.

    So if I bought 30 euro worth of unfit pork in Tesco, I destroy it and have no refund from the retailers?

    So it's tough luck for the consumer? :confused:
    I've read the RTE article and don't see any advice for consumers at all.

    Ok, it's not the stores fault directly but I reckon a refund is due, they have professional buyers and have to store the pork in certain ways and they better be doing some sort of checks if they are buying thousands of kg of pork from some factory

    Telling the public to destroy all pork bought since September is laughable.
    Anytime l have bought pork it is used for dinner that day
    or the next. Rarely would l freeze it.:(
    l didn't see what part of the country these farm's are in .
    Does anyone know?

    Yeah I was trying to set up the Simpsons bit where Homer doesn't believe bacon, ham and pork chops all come from the same animal but there were no takers. :(

    any supermarket with any common sense will give full refunds, it wouldnt be worth it to lose a customer's entire christmas shop over a few quid worth of bacon that they can in turn claim back off their suppliers

    This is why being a vegetarian is great, don't have to worry (as much) about being poisoned.

    This is one of those times when I really hate this country.

    Let me get this straight- this substance has been contaminating pork since feckin' September? It's Christmas now, ffs!

    And they've known of it for a whole week before saying anything?!

    Idiots. A trained monkey could do a better job than the government.

    I'm not a vegan, there's nothing in meat you can't get from drinking milk and eating potatoes, bread, cabbage, eggs, etc.
