Can you really know what's in your food?
Public trust in the food industry has been shaken recently after it came to light that some processed meat sold in British and Irish supermarkets as beef contained horsemeat.
The Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said: "At the moment this appears to be an issue of fraud and mislabelling." He's promised an investigation.
Food fraud is nothing new. Once upon a time, it might have been watered down beer or bread adulterated with sawdust.
Today, rising food prices, long supply chains and high mark ups on some foods have made deception easier and more profitable, according to BBC reporters Tom de Castella and Brian Wheeler, who've been covering the scandal.
