ANICE reacts to Spanish meat scandal

The National Association of Meat Industries of Spain (ANICE) demands a full-force action from the authorities that are investigating the "weak meat" scandal in the country.
In a statement of the Spanish meat industry body, representatives of ANICE calls on the Administration to take decisive action to detect and prosecute irregularities such as those recently known to bring those responsible to justice and protect the rights of consumers, the fair competition of companies and the good image of the products placed on the market. Also, the association wants to highlight the quality and guarantee of Spanish cured hams, which are one of the most traditional and recognized products of meat production in our country and are an emblem of Spanish cuisine and of the Spain brand around the world.
In the last months, Spanish National Police launched an investigation regarding irregularities of some meat products, mostly sliced cold meat (chorizo, salami and salchichon) and cured hams (Jamon), distributed in the market. Several brands - Jamón Bodega Alto de Aitana, Jamón Bodega Sierra Gorda, Aire de Mariola, Serranía de Ameta, El Galán, Jamones Croval, Don Enrique, and Oro la Ermita - have received a "do not consume" warning from Spanish sanitary watchdog, AECOSAN, due to the risk associated with the consumption.
ANICE announced that the sector is the first interested in detecting, investigating and correcting effectively any possible fraudulent action in the chain of production and distribution of meats and derived products to restore consumer confidence.
