Presumably mass products have some QA that goes beyond what I routinely expect of a food startup like Meal Squares. I may be wrong but maybe it'd help of they'd explain their production process.
You'd think so but in the past that hasn't always been the case. In the UK they had the tesco-horse-meat thing (meat was supposed to be beef) and in ireland there was a case where huge quantities of animal feed were contaminated and as a result meat from the animals was quite highly contaminated and there was a massive recall.

Well, going on research run by a government council rather than a PA firm for a supermarket or retailer...

Removed actual figure so that people can guess before clicking through.
Hm, that is interesting but addresses the opposite of mass products: locally produced and labelled meat products. For those my estimates would look much different.
Where did it say they were locally produced? Takeaways don't normally slaughter their own lamb.
Normally they buy from wholesalers and large suppliers.
Right and the the mass product chain thus ends at the wholesaler.
