Food adulteration has a direct impact on public health, religious faith, fair-trades, and wildlife. In the present study, a reliable and sensitive assay has been developed for verifying meat adulteration in food chain. The multiplex PCR system was optimised for identification of chicken, cow/buffalo, sheep/goat, horse/donkey, pork, and dog DNAs in a single reaction mixture simultaneously. The primers were designed using 12 S rRNA gene sequences with fragment size in the range of 113 bp to 800 bp, which can be easily visualised on agarose gel electrophoresis making the technique economical. After validation of accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, commercially available meat products (n = 190) were screened, comprising both raw and cooked meat samples. The results demonstrated a high rate of adulteration (54.5%) in meat products. The technique developed here can be easily used for screening of different meat products for export and import purposes as well as for food inspection and livestock diagnostic laboratories.
