Public Accounts Committee

2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

10:00 am

Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

It was a routine sampling at a plant. That is why there was a delay, a significant one between the day that pig was slaughtered and the testing because there was no particular issue about it. It turned out to be positive for carbadox. Our staff went to the farm. They found carbadox - several bags of it, including bags open with a scoop in them. They took a statement from the farmer.
