Warning issued by Lucy Manzano , head of port health and public protection.

Out of 71 tonnes of meat seized in a year , DPHA was responsible for nearly 69t, she said.

DPHA operates at around 20% coverage due to financial constraints.

But has still managed to seize 170 t of illegal meat since September 2022 .

Government’s Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) allows commercial meat imports to enter the country unchecked in large volumes.

This means criminal gangs are easily able to target the UK .

Many consignments are auto-cleared under the timed-out decision contingency feature’ ( TODCOF ) system.
