Horse meat scandal: summit to meet Samples of food have been sent for testing but the results will not be available until April 8, meaning that consumers will have to wait two months before they know for certain what they are eating. The police were drawn into the scandal on Friday amid fears that criminals may be involved in supplying horse meat labelled as beef. The development followed confirmation that some Findus beef lasagnes were made entirely of horse meat. The frozen meals were eventually withdrawn from sale but the public was not informed that the product was contaminated for more than a week after horse meat was first detected in samples. On Friday, Aldi withdrew its own-brand frozen lasagne and bolognese after they were shown to contain between 30 per cent and 100 per cent horse meat. They had been supplied by the same French company, Comigel, used by Findus.
