The recent scandal with Horsemeat being found in process meat pies has highlighted a problem for all process foods that are available in the UK high street shops.

Your task is to select a processed product* and study the supply
chain for all the ingredients found on the list** Then submit a report
that details your findings for the distribution and supply chain for
each of the components list
* A Processed product is one that has multiple ingredients brought together by a
food processing company. The majority of ready meals and other packaged meal
products would be suitable. If in doubt check with the seminar tutor.
** The report should include a good quality copy of the ingredients list printed on
the product packagingYour report should include references to the appropriate operations management literature
(textbooks, journals and websites). Care should be taken when consulting websites, they are
not all equally authoritative (for example Wikipedia is not peer-reviewed; therefore is not
considered an academic reference website). A minimum of 3 different academic references
must be cited, but a good report is likely to cite many more
