Polish beef prices started to fall over meat fiasco

Polish beef prices have started to fall significantly in recent days, head of the local beef producers lobby said on Monday, following food safety concerns due to a TV report showing sick cows being taken for slaughter.

"If this tendency continues, producers could lose about 600 million zloty ($160 million) this year," Jacek Zarzecki, president of the Polish cattle producers lobby told reporters.
