I'm wondering whether Alison Webster is working as the lawyer for Spanghero SAS of France.
Webster has a well-rehearsed response to the mountain of allegations against egg-grading giant L.H. Gray and Son Ltd.: she says the company "denies any wrongdoing."
Spanghero SAS of France says it’s not responsible for the horsemeat
and now illegal mutton authorities have found at its meat-processing plant.
The company has been charged with knowingly mislabeling horsemeat as
beef and now inspectors say they have found 57 tons of banned frozen mutton
from England.
All of this is adding to public concerns about food safety.
Food safety officials have, however, been repeatedly telling the British,
European and Irish public that the discoveries of horsemeat masquerading as
beef in everything from lasagna to meatballs represents no risk to their
health.
Spanghero’s operations have been suspended since the mislabelled horsemeat was
found in February.
L.H. Gray and Son Ltd. continues to operate full tilt, handling about 40 per cent of the eggs marketed in Ontario, plus more eggs at grading stations and egg-processing plants clear west to British Columbia.
As with Spanghero where meat has been found, with Gray electronic records have surfaced with e-mails and data that seem to imply illegal activities.
The records are under court protection of a lawyer in Kitchener awaiting a decision on how much of this information can be used in a court trial.
I guess the meat in France is also sitting under secure protection, awaiting a court trial.
