Chefs surprisingly confident about meat supplies despite horsegate

By James Russell: Chefs surprisingly confident about meat supplies despite horsegate

February 20, 2013

The latest survey completed over the past week on JRA Research’s Chefs Panel*, shows widespread confidence amongst Chefs & Catering Managers about their meat supplies, despite recent revelations about horsemeat being found in beef products in the meat supply chain.

  • Over half of Chefs are sufficiently confident about their suppliers to have taken no action so far, with most others confident after checking with their suppliers.
  • To date, fewer than 1 in 10 have reacted by either changing their supplier or making menu changes as a result of concerns over horsemeat.

The survey was completed over the past week by Chefs & Catering Managers on the online Chefs Panel run by JRA Research. JRA Research has been actively involved in conducting research into the Foodservice sector for over 20 years.

[* online interviews completed between 12th & 18th February 2013 by a sample of 180 Chefs & Catering Managers drawn from all sectors of the Foodservice Industry]
