    All too often the meat inside the sausage doesn't match what the label says. Now, I have no doubt that this problem is not confined to Canada, remember how the EU had horse meat being sold as beef a few years back, and don't even get me started about how meat processed in China is now being allowed in the US, but do we need to revisist meat packing regulations to add greater tracability so we can ferret out bad actors?

    To summarize 20% of the sausage sold in Canada contains types of meats not written on the label. Alot of the turkey sausages actually had cheaper chicken, some of the beef sausages actually had some pork in them, and one package labeled pork actually had horse meat in it.
