Horse DNA found in more 'beef'

 

Beef products sold by Birds Eye, Taco Bell and catering supplier Brakes have been found to contain horse DNA in the latest round of tests carried out since the start of the meat scandal, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said.

The third round of tests carried out since January revealed contamination of Birds Eye Traditional Spaghetti Bolognese and Beef Lasagne, Taco Bell's ground beef and Brakes' spicy minced beef skewer, the FSA said.

Ten tests on the four products returned results of more than 1% horse meat, the agency said, and all four have been withdrawn from sale.
