What really goes into our food?

Tara Mills and Declan Harvey talk to the Northern Ireland business that is taking on food fraud.

It’s a multi-billion pound industry, and it means that what you think you’re putting in your mouth – might be nothing of the sort.

Remember the horse meat scandal? Well, that could be just the tip of the iceberg.

Dr Terry McGrath and Dr Maeve Shannon from Bia Analytical in Belfast – talk about the latest technology being used to tackle this ever growing problem.

From sawdust to Parma ham – how can we make sure what we eat is safe?

Also: Lasagne-gate – is it time for Tara and Declan to have a cook-off?
