'Horse lasagne' sparks new UK food scare Testing on Findus lasagne in the UK has revealed that some of the ready meals contain horsemeat. BRITISH authorities have warned the public not to eat beef lasagne sold by the Findus brand and made in France after tests found it contained up to 100 per cent horsemeat. Findus tested 18 of its beef lasagne products manufactured by supplier Comigel in France and found 11 meals containing 60 per cent to 100 per cent horse meat, Britain's Food Standards Agency said on Thursday. The agency said further tests have been ordered on the lasagne for the veterinary drug phenylbutazone, as animals treated with it are not allowed to enter the food chain in Britain. "Findus withdrew the beef lasagne products after its French supplier, Comigel, raised concerns about the type of meat used in the lasagne," the agency said in a statement. The agency said tests on the lasagne were ordered "as part of its ongoing investigation into mislabelled meat." We have no evidence to suggest that this is a food safety risk. However, the FSA has ordered Findus to test the lasagne for the veterinary drug phenylbutazone. It is the latest horsemeat related scare after horse DNA was found two weeks ago in beef burgers in Britain and Ireland, countries where horse meat consumption is generally taboo. Two weeks ago, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) had revealed that up to 29 per cent of the meat content of some beefburgers was in fact horse, while they also found pig DNA. The frozen burgers were on sale in high-street supermarket chains Tesco and Iceland in both Britain and Ireland, and in Irish branches of Lidl, Aldi and Dunnes Stores. The consumption of horse meat is more common in parts of Europe including France and in central Asia, China and Latin America.
