- Abstract:
- This report summarises results from UK Official Control testing. 94% of samples were deemed authentic. Reasons why samples were inauthentic included Basmati rice which contained more non-Basmati rice varieties than allowed, and non-pork meat found in pork sausages. The compliance rate for unauthorised ingredients was 93%, with issues including non-permitted sweeteners, and unauthorised and excess use of colours. For composition, 87% of samples were compliant, with issues including less meat content than declared in chicken ready meals and pork sausages, and incorrect fat content in milk.
