A feature on the horsemeat scandal in last week’s Grocer stated Waitrose had committed to source all its beef from the UK in light of the scandal. Waitrose has asked us to make clear all its beef was already from the UK when the scandal happened and had been for a long time. Waitrose did open a dedicated frozen burger facility following the crisis, but this was in the works prior to the scandal and not a reaction to it. No Waitrose products tested positive for horse DNA.
