The Grass is Greener for British Meat

It's official - fresh grass is the secret of good meat!

Most of us would expect cattle and sheep raised on a diet of fresh grass to produce better quality meat - but now researchers at the University of Bristol have proved this to be scientifically true. Not only do taste tests show that grass-fed meat tastes better, it has also been proven to be higher in healthy omega-3 fatty acids and in Vitamin E!

And at the neighbouring University of the West of England, researchers are using glowing bacteria to prevent contamination while meat is being stored, prior to it turning up on our plates.

From the field to the table, the quality of the meat we eat is being protected and improved by the research being conducted in the UK's universities.
