Horse meat found in Ikea's meatballs HORSE meat has been detected in meat balls labelled as beef and pork imported to Czech Republic by furniture giant Ikea. The Czech State Veterinary Administration says the one-kilogram packs of the frozen meat balls were made in Sweden to be sold in Ikea's furniture stores that also offer typical Swedish food. A total of 760kg of the meat balls were stopped from reaching the shelves in the Czech Republic. The authority said on Monday horse meat was also found in beef burgers imported from Poland. Last week, the Czechs detected horse meat for the first time - in lasagna Bolognese made by frozen food processor Tavola S. A. Comigel and sold at Tesco.
