Britain finds horsemeat in school meals, hospitals
-
LONDON (AP)
-- Tests have found horsemeat in school meals, hospital food and
restaurant dishes in Britain, officials said Friday, as the scandal over
adulterated meat spread beyond frozen supermarket products.
Results
were coming in after U.K. food safety officials ordered supermarkets
and suppliers to test all processed meals labeled as beef for traces of
horsemeat.
Whitbread PLC, Britain's largest
hotel and restaurant company, said horse DNA had been found in lasagna
and burgers on its menus. The company, whose outlets include Premier Inn
hotels and the Brewers Fayre and Beefeater Grill restaurant chains,
said it was "shocked and disappointed at this failure of the processed
meat supply chain."
