Mae hwn yn bwnc sy’n destun gofid mawr i’r cyhoedd. Mae’r prif gyfrifoldebau dros labelu a diogelwch bwyd yng Nghymru yn eistedd gyda’r ASB. Cysylltais yn syth gyda’r ASB a gyda Gweinidogion yn Llundain.   Siaradais ag Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Defra, Owen Paterson AS, ar 12 Chwefror 2013 a chytunwyd i gydweithio’n glos i gefnogi ymchwiliadau’r ASB a’r heddlu.  Rwyf wedi siarad hefyd â Hybu Cig Cymru a charfannau eraill sydd â diddordeb yng nghadwyni cyflenwi cig coch Cymru.  Siaradais â Gweinidog Defra, David Heath ar 13 Chwefror 2013, mewn telegynhadledd ag adwerthwyr a phroseswyr mwya’r DU i drafod amrywiaeth o agweddau i ddelio â’r problemau hyn ynghylch cael cig ceffyl mewn cynhyrchion cig eidion.  Ers hynny, rwyf wedi cadw mewn cysylltiad agos, a wedi siarad hefo Gweinidog Defra, Owen Paterson, a Gweinidiogion bwyd eraill y DU, y bore yma.
Clearly this is a matter of great public concern. Lead responsibility for food labelling and food safety in Wales sits with the Food Standard Agency.  I immediately established close contact with the FSA and with ministerial colleagues in London.  I spoke with the DEFRA Secretary of State, Owen Paterson MP, on 12 February 2013 and we agreed that we would work in close collaboration to support the investigation being led by the FSA and the police.  I have also spoken with Hybu Cig Cymru and other stakeholders in the Welsh red meat supply chain. I spoke to Defra Minister of State, David Heath, on 13 February 2013 in a teleconference with major UK retailers and processors to discuss a range of matters in dealing with the continuing issues with reference to horsemeat in beef products.  Since then I have maintained close liaison and I have spoken to the DEFRA Secretary of State, Owen Paterson MP and other food Ministers in the UK, this morning.
