Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville investigate concerns over food and drink. A year after the horsemeat scandal, how much can we trust our meat?

Plus, the team finds out more about the most common food poisoning bug in Britain, thought to be present in around two thirds of raw chicken. Is enough being done to tackle it, and what can you do to avoid getting it?
