Description

British lamb and beef exports face potential disaster as French vets impound lorries due to tiny wool specks, threatening up to one million pounds in meat and hundreds of jobs. Despite UKs Food Standards Agency deeming the meat fit for consumption, French officials refuse to let lorries return, potentially destroying entire loads. David Burton, co-owner of West Scottish Lamb, warns of job losses and possible export halt due to lack of support from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
