Supermarket scandal: Pork and turkey found in vegan and 'meat free' meals

“Meat free” and vegan food sold at Britain's leading supermarkets contains traces of meat, an investigation by the Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Laboratory tests found traces of pork in Sainsbury’s own brand “meat free” meatballs and traces of turkey in a vegan macaroni ready meal from Tesco’s new “Wicked Kitchen” line.

Friday night the Food Standards Agency said it was investigating this newspaper's findings. Jewish and Muslim groups warned consumers would be "distressed" to discover they may have inadvertently eaten pork, and demanded the affected items be recalled.

If' you're really, really, really in need of a footie fix, or just really, really, really, really, really bored then the Independent has some great (?) photos for you:

Of course, it's always possible there's some quite similar not far from you. Go drool over them - and don't forget your camera.
