A leading bacteriologist has said he believes the practice of substituting lamb with beef is widespread in Indian restaurants and takeaways in Scotland.
Professor Hugh Pennington was speaking after a report, published in the Sunday Mail, said low quality beef was passed off as lamb in one in three curries tested by the Food Standards Agency.
Prof Pennington said he had been aware of the issue for years.
He said it was potentially a bigger scandal than the use of horsemeat.
