The Dutch
food safety authority NNWA has made ‘several enforcement visits’ to Dutch
factories where meat is tumbled with water to increase its weight in recent
months, the Guardian newspaper reported on Saturday.
The aim of
the visits was to stop the practice of adding water to imported chicken
destined for resale as raw meat, the paper said. The NVWA told the paper
chicken produced in this way is illegal.
The paper
approached the Dutch body as part of an investigation into the way up to 20% of
the weight of some chicken sold in British supermarkets is water.
