Jaswinder Paul says his family haven't spoken to him since he ate the mislabelled meat. A Hindu man who ate beef wrongly labelled as lamb was the subject of an employment case that found he had underpaid vulnerable workers. Jaswinder Paul contacted Stuff after he bought a package labelled as lamb from Countdown Blenheim at the end of September, then cooked and ate the contents before discovering the meat was beef. A Countdown spokeswoman has said Paul approached the organisation in September, after he bought beef mince that was labelled as lamb. After several months without a response, Paul headed into Countdown Blenheim last week, on February 27, and spoke with a manager.
