Panic has set in this week after the revelation that certain well known products, widely sold throughout Europe, contained not only beef but also horsemeat !!!
Large Companies and Groups, either of National or Multi-national dimensions, "suddenly" tested products they produced or simply re-sold. The results have sometimes been astounding !!! "Suddenly" certain goods have been withdrawn from sales counters !!!
Suddenly, also, other Commissions have been set up to make investigations.
This in fact reveals the lack of "Diligent Management" or "prudent controls" which should have been in place beforehand. Originally, was this not really a policy to cut costs and maintain profit margins ? Now top Directors and Managers are engaged in a face-saving exercicse, but must they not be made to account or to explain ?
Shoppers, as far as they can, control what they buy. They are entitled to expect a clear and informative description of what they buy, not only concerning meat products but other products.
Alas shoppers pay for misdescribed goods and small print conditions, but they are never compensated, even when Companies or Directors are prosecuted and found guilty. Nor are Directors obliged to renounce their "Super Bonuses" of previous years !!!
