In the wake of a tainted meat scandal that has rocked Europe this year, Texas biotech firm Alpha Diagnostic International has released a test that can be used in the field to detect horse, rat or pig meat content in an hour. According to HorseTalk NZ, the San Antonio-based Alpha Diagnostic said that a quick and inexpensive test that can be administered by “processing plants, bulk meat buyers, and sellers at restaurants and grocery stores, as well as by qualified laboratories and law enforcement agencies” is necessary in order to battle the increasingly pervasive problem of contaminated meat products.
