Tesco to attach security tags to meat products

The small grey security tags, similar to those attached to clothing in other stores, have not only been secured to the packaging of expensive meat products, such as the €25.20 pale ham fillet, but also cheaper items, including €3 packets of Irish beef burgers.

Other tagged items include €4 packets of bacon and Irish pork chops retailing at €5.49.
