FSA Announces New Round of Tests to Check Beef for Horse Meat
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has today confirmed details of a new round of tests of beef products for horse meat contamination. The tests have been requested by the European Commission as part of the follow-up to last year’s horse meat incident where a number of beef products sold across Europe were found to have been deliberately adulterated with horse meat.
This new round of European Union (EU) testing should give additional reassurance to consumers across Europe that the food chain is being checked for potential problems.
