Head of Agrarian Chamber accuses supermarkets of false meat labelling

The president of the Czech Agrarian Chamber Jan Veleba has told the Czech Press Agency that some retail chains in the Czech Republic are selling meat under false pretences. Mr Veleba said his organisation had carried out an inspection of several supermarkets selling imported meat in the Czech Republic and found that a number of them sold meat with false labelling. As an example, he said many labels described meat which originally came from cows as bull's meat so that they could charge a higher price for it. Mr Veleba did not mention any specific retailers but said the results of the Agrarian Chamber's inspection would be made public on Tuesday.
