Tesco boss ‘sure as sure can be’ horsemeat is over
Also on April 17, Tesco’s boss Philip Clarke said he was “sure as sure can be” that the retailer’s horsemeat contamination problems were now over.
“We are a strong company and we have done exactly what our customers would expect [to remedy horsemeat contamination], Clarke told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “I am as sure as sure can be there won’t be any more problems with equine DNA in [Tesco] food.”
Clarke went on to say that the discovery of horsemeat contamination in four Tesco products “shocked us all”. The retailer waited quite a time to ensure that no further contamination was present. “Then, we did exactly what I hope customers would expect ̶ we made pledges to buy more from home.”
Meanwhile, the Food Manufacture Group, in association with business law firm DWF, is staging a one hour webinar on the lessons to be learned from the horsemeat crisis. Book your free place here.
