Dalepak is one of the plants that was named by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) as having supplied beef burgers to retailers that contained traces of horse and pork DNA.
North Yorkshire Trading Standards focused on the burger product lines implicated in the survey carried out by the FSAI. They took seven samples, comprising all the meat being used currently in the production of these lines. Neither horse nor pork DNA was detected in any of these samples.
Investigations continue into the origin of the horse and pork DNA detected in some Dalepak products produced in 2012.
