By: Head of the Association Robin Phillips Phillips told a Joint Select Committee meeting on food fraud at Parliament last week that the leg quarters are marketed in the US as 'pet meat', meaning they can be bought cheaply and sold on to consumers in Trinidad and Tobago, according to Caribbean 360.
However, supermarket association authorities said imported meat was safe.
