Secret files show horse meat, mouse fur and metal shavings detected in Australian food
New South Wales Greens politician Abigail Boyd has used parliamentary powers to obtain documents detailing serious food safety breaches.
She says the files show horse meat has been sold as beef and lamb mince, and that metal shavings have been found inside bread products.
The documents were produced under a Standing Order 52 passed by the NSW upper house in May.
While some have been made public, the government claimed privilege over others, preventing their public release.
Ms Boyd is allowed to inspect the restricted files but cannot publicly release them or identify individual businesses.
She has challenged the government's privilege claims, triggering an independent legal review of whether they should remain secret.
She can speak about the documents only in general terms.
"There were a lot of instances of things being found in food that shouldn't be there. For example, mouse fur," she said.
"There were metal shavings found in bread products … products that were supposed to be dairy-free, that were not dairy-free, [which] were only caught by accident because somebody happened to put it together after their child or they themselves got sick, not because the company had worked it out."
