The old media adage about not letting the truth get in the way of a good story applies to this one.

Following this story appearing in a number of places, Powys Trading Standards issued the following press release:

"The Council has no issue with the use of the word 'Welsh Dragon'. Obviously we do not nor do we expect anyone else to believe that the sausage contains 'welsh dragon meat' or whatever that maybe as has been quoted in various sections of the media.

"Our advice to the company concerned being simply that when 'sausages' are sold, whether pre-packed or loose, they are clearly labelled to inform consumers of the type of meat e.g. pork or beef that is contained in the product. We feel this to be a perfectly reasonable legal requirement and due to consumer preferences, information which they are entitled to know.

"We are disappointed that the above advice has been taken totally out of context in a number of media reports. We will continue to advise the company concerned as their 'home authority' on food labelling issues as we have done for a number of years."

what about hedge hog flavored crips?

In English consumer law there is a distinction between the words "flavour" and "flavoured".

Hedgehog flavour crisps simply need to have the flavour of hedgehog (or somebody's interpretation of the flavour) whereas hedgehog flavoured crisps would need to be flavoured with hedgehog.

It's all a pity really, it was such a good story!!!
