欧盟考虑引入牛肉基因测试

The French now consume less than 300 grams (0.66 lbs) per person per year, a fifth of what they ate 30 years ago and less than 1 percent of the total meat they consume. The European Commission has proposed increased DNA testing of meat products to assess the scale of a scandal involving horsemeat sold as beef meat that has shocked the public and raised concern over the continent's food supply chains.

针对欧洲最近爆发的"马肉丑闻",欧盟各国代表在布鲁塞尔商议是否应该推出全欧范围的牛肉基因测试。凭借相关测试,政府机关能够查出样品是否为假报为牛肉的马肉。同时,有关建议呼吁应该对马肉中残留的"保泰松"(Phenylbutazon)含量进行检查,这类药物有消炎和促使动物兴奋的作用。法国政府宣称已经在涉案的Spanghero公司里找到了需要承担主要责任的嫌疑犯,同时也对外公布了被处理过的肉品以及食物半成品的数量。其中显示,这家法国公司从罗马尼亚进口了750吨马肉,并自行销售了其中的200吨,剩下的大约550吨被出售至法国速冻食品生产商Comigel设在卢森堡的加工厂。这家公司以此生产了超过450万份被打上错误标签的食物半成品,并将其销售给少13个欧盟国家的28家公司。
