    Many thanks for reacting so quickly to my call to [name] last week and agreeing to meet key technicians from Randox Laboratories. It was great to meet you all again. We rapidly agreed that what Randox’s superior technology has uncovered is shocking and potentially incredibly damaging to the UK Dairy Industry. It is not good that illegal products have not been detected by the current testing regime in retail milk. It is also bad that the current systems miss certain illegal products which Randox can detect.

    You agreed to begin an enhanced programme of testing for the illegal substances which Randox have discovered. We agreed Randox should test the same samples in parallel so results can be compared. You were interested in using the Randox technology within the FSA. You offered to help with ISO 7025 accreditation at a suitable laboratory. Once established the application of the technology could be discussed not just within the FSA but across the whole dairy industry. This could lead to a much rapider and more thorough testing regime of huge value to U.K. Dairy promotion at home and abroad in the future. You suggested discussing the revelations on antibiotics with [name redacted] the Chief Vet. In the meantime, although none of us could have reacted quicker to the information I was given 10 days ago by Randox, we agreed that you should agree defensive lines on immediately increasing testing should the news get out.

    Looking further ahead, [one of your FSA colleagues] mentioned the issue of mycotoxins in maize and I have long been worried about the potentially explosive danger of campylobacter in chickens. It would be good if he could liaise with Randox and discuss further how their latest technologies might help on grain and meat. Thank you once again for agreeing to meet so quickly and for reacting in such a constructive manner to what is very unwelcome news for us all. Let’s keep in touch and plan to meet again in the New Year. I wish you a very Randox Christmas
