Coles place security tags on ‘high value items’ like meat

Sky News host Paul Murray says Coles supermarkets are testing placing security tags on “high value” items like meat. “Meat is now coming with a security tag on it as if it was a tee shirt,” Mr Murray said. “As if it was a high value item that somebody does not want stolen from their shop. “Coles are the people who are actually doing this, and they are doing it not just on that one piece but an entire batch of meat. “Statement from a Coles spokesperson said the measure was part of a ‘very small trial’ which is being rolled out in Victoria.”
