Nestlé UK products test negative for horsemeat Nestle said on Monday it had found traces of horsemeat in two products sold in France and Spain. Nestlé, the world's biggest food company, which has withdrawn beef and pasta products in Italy, Spain and France because of traces of horsemeat, has said tests on nine processed beef products available in the UK found no equine contamination. The results of Nestlé UK's tests on seven weight-loss diet products and two baby foods were released a day after its parent company became implicated in the pan-European scandal. The lines tested were seven Jenny Craig dishes and two Gerber baby foods. Jenny Craig products are delivered directly to the homes of customers as part of a weight-loss programme costing nearly £250 a month. Among the seven dishes that contain processed beef are lasagne, chilli con carne and bolognese. The company said in a statement: "We can confirm that Nestlé has tested samples of all of its processed beef products sold in the UK and Ireland, as prioritised by the FSA. These consist of seven Jenny Craig products and two Gerber baby food products. Today we have received the results of our internal tests which have confirmed no presence of horse DNA in any of these products. The company added: "Nestlé UK is part of the industry reporting process and these results will be submitted via the Food and Drink Federation, our industry body, to the FSA in this week's reporting cycle. We will continue to test our products in accordance with the FSA's priorities and the results will be reported to the FSA. The test results were not among the first batch submitted by retailers and manufacturers to the FSA last week. Earlier Nestlé UK said no supplies from a subcontractor implicated in products withdrawn in Europe were involved in UK products. On Monday the company's head office in Switzerland said horsemeat levels found in two products sold in France and Spain were "above the 1% threshold the UK's Food Safety Agency uses to indicate likely adulteration or gross negligence." It announced it was suspending deliveries of all products using beef supplied by a German firm, HJ Schypke, a subcontractor of one of its suppliers, JBS Toledo, based in Belgium, which proudly boasts of the traceability of its raw materials. JBS Toledo is part of a Brazilian company, JBS, which said it had suspended all its contracts with its German supplier and would cease marketing European meat until confidence was restored in the European beef supply chain. No case of co-mingling of species had been identified in products produced in or at JBS factories, he said.
