I was in my local Tesco's earlier on this afternoon and noticed that various prepacked meat cuts - fillet & ribeye steak, leg of lamb - were labelled 'Security tagged - deactivated on checkout'. I assume there is a similar system in the new Accy store.

Does anyone know what this means? If the tag is not deactivated, is there some sort of chemical released into the meat when opened to make it inedible. Not that it bothers me - I get my meat from the local butchers.

I've not seen 'owt like this before.
