Yn dilyn archwiliad gan yr Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd (ASB) o ladd\-dy Peter Boddy yn Todmorden, Gogledd Swydd Efrog, gwelwyd eu bod wedi cyflenwi cig ceffyl i fusnes o’r enw Farmbox yn Nhy’n y Parc, Llandre ger Aberystwyth.

Ymwelodd swyddogion yr ASB â Thyn y Parc ar 12 Chwefror 2013, a drwgdybwyd fod cig ceffyl o ladd\-dy Peter Boddy wedi’i ddefnyddio i gynhyrchu bwyd i'w fwyta gan bobl.  Mae swyddogion yr ASB wedi cymryd a chadw’r  cig a gafwyd ar y safle yn ogystal â’r holl waith papur fydd ei angen i ymchwilio i’r mater hwn ymhellach.  Rhoddwyd gwybod i Heddlu Dyfed Powys am hyn ac mae nhw’n helpu’r ASB â’i hymchwiliadau ac wedi cloi’r safle.

Mae hwn yn bwnc sy’n destun gofid mawr i’r cyhoedd. Mae’r prif gyfrifoldebau dros labelu a diogelwch bwyd yng Nghymru yn eistedd gyda’r ASB. Cysylltais yn syth gyda’r ASB a gyda Gweinidogion yn Llundain.   Siaradais ag Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Defra, Owen Paterson AS, ar 12 Chwefror 2013 a chytunwyd i gydweithio’n glos i gefnogi ymchwiliadau’r ASB a’r heddlu.  Rwyf wedi siarad hefyd â Hybu Cig Cymru a charfannau eraill sydd â diddordeb yng nghadwyni cyflenwi cig coch Cymru.  Siaradais â Gweinidog Defra, David Heath ar 13 Chwefror 2013, mewn telegynhadledd ag adwerthwyr a phroseswyr mwya’r DU i drafod amrywiaeth o agweddau i ddelio â’r problemau hyn ynghylch cael cig ceffyl mewn cynhyrchion cig eidion.  Ers hynny, rwyf wedi cadw mewn cysylltiad agos, a wedi siarad hefo Gweinidog Defra, Owen Paterson, a Gweinidiogion bwyd eraill y DU, y bore yma.

Rwyf yn credu dylai defnyddwyr gael hyder mewn cig o Gymru yn gyffredinol ac mewn cynnyrch sydd wedi ei labelu fel cig eidion PGI o Gymru. Mae gan Gig Eidion Cymru statws Dynodiad Daearyddol Gwarchodedig (PGI) yr Undeb Ewropeaidd.  Mae hynny’n golygu bod y gadwyn gyflenwi gyfan yn bodloni’r safonau uchaf.  Hynny yw, dim ond cig o wartheg sydd wedi’u geni a’u magu yng Nghymru ac sydd wedi’u lladd a’u prosesu ar safleoedd sydd wedi’u cymeradwyo at ddiben y PGI sy’n gallu cael ei alw’n Gig Eidion o Gymru.  Mae’n gadwyn gyflenwi fer.  Rhaid i’r lladd\-dai a’r safleoedd prosesu fodloni’r amodau llymaf cyn cael eu cymeradwyo at ddiben y PGI, ac mae modd olrhain yr holl gynnyrch yn rhwydd.

Mae holl gynnyrch ‘Cig Eidion Cymru’ yn cael eu monitro’n drylwyr er mwyn diogelu a chynnal yr ansawdd uchaf a’r safonau uchaf.  Rwy’n gobeithio gwneud datganiad llafar ar y mater hwn pan fydd y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn ail ymgynnull ddydd Mawrth nesaf.

Following an audit at Peter Boddy slaughterhouse in Todmorden in North Yorkshire by the Food Standards Agency it was found that quantities of horsemeat had been sent to a business called Farmbox based at Tyn y Parc in Llandre near Aberystwyth.


FSA enforcement officers entered the Tyn y Parc premises on 12 February 2013 and found that horsemeat supplied by Peter Boddy was suspected of having been used in the production of food for human consumption.  FSA officers have seized and detained meat at the site, as well as all paperwork necessary to investigate this further.  Dyfed\-Powys Police has been informed and are assisting the FSA with investigations and securing the site.


Clearly this is a matter of great public concern. Lead responsibility for food labelling and food safety in Wales sits with the Food Standard Agency.  I immediately established close contact with the FSA and with ministerial colleagues in London.  I spoke with the DEFRA Secretary of State, Owen Paterson MP, on 12 February 2013 and we agreed that we would work in close collaboration to support the investigation being led by the FSA and the police.  I have also spoken with Hybu Cig Cymru and other stakeholders in the Welsh red meat supply chain. I spoke to Defra Minister of State, David Heath, on 13 February 2013 in a teleconference with major UK retailers and processors to discuss a range of matters in dealing with the continuing issues with reference to horsemeat in beef products.  Since then I have maintained close liaison and I have spoken to the DEFRA Secretary of State, Owen Paterson MP and other food Ministers in the UK, this morning.


I believe that consumers should have confidence in our Welsh meat generally and in  products specifically labelled PGI Welsh Beef.  PGI Welsh Beef has been awarded the European Union’s Protected Geographical Indication status. This means that the whole of the supply chain meets the highest possible standards. In practice this means that only beef from cattle born and reared in Wales and slaughtered and processed in PGI\-approved premises can be labelled as PGI Welsh Beef. It is a short supply chain. Abattoirs and processing facilities have to meet strict criteria before they can become PGI\-accredited and all products are fully traceable.


All PGI Welsh Beef branded products are subject to rigoruous monitoring to maintain and underpin the highest quality and highest standards.  I will seek to make an oral statement on this matter when the National Assembly reconvenes next Tuesday.
