Findus Beef Lasagne Meals 100% Horsemeat
Permalink  
 


Seems "horsemeat" shows up again in the news. You wouldnt

ask for horse meat at the local mega-mart. I dont know if I've

consumed horsemeat or not in my lifetime. If I did it got

disguised to which I have no "I-Dent on horsemeat" to this

day. Think I'd like to keep it this way for now.

That was a "good bit of information" on "what horse meat"
tastes like Calvin. I quit eating beef about 1995 after eating
it daily my whole life. Think it was an article in the British
Lancet about "animal protein overloads". Protein overloads
leads to robbing calcium from your bones. Osteo...something.
Lots of things happen to the beef supply. I dont regret giving
up beef/red meat. As far a cow is concerned, I still consume
some cheese, and it would be real hard for me to get along
without dairy cream butter. So back to "horsemeat"...more
news percelates daily.

 
 

DOWNING Street today said that they cannot rule out that horse meat has been served to millions of school pupils and hospital patients.

It emerged last night that beef lasagne meals sold by fast food giants Findus were up to 99 per cent horse.

 

Findus's beef lasagne was bought from the same French meat supplier which provided Tesco's withdrawn Value Spaghetti Bolognese. Aldi has also pulled products from Comigel, based in Metz, north east France

The food giant has now been ordered to test the dishes for a cancer-causing painkiller used by vets.

Today a spokesman for Findus said they received notification on SATURDAY that their products may contain horsemeat.

The company issued a full product recall on Monday before DNA testing on Wednesday confirmed horsemeat was in their products.

Findus today reiterated its apology over some of its beef lasagne products containing horse meat.

The company said it was sorry that we have let people down.

Ministers were rapped over the scandal and customers warned to take meals back to shops.

Downing Street described the latest incident as distasteful but stressed there was no evidence of a health risk and urged consumers to follow the FSA advice.

A Number 10 spokeswoman said the matter appeared to involve acts of criminality which were being investigated by the police, including officers from the UK.

She could not say, however, whether any tests had been done on school dinners, hospital and prison meals or other state-provided food.

Pressed repeatedly on the issue at a daily briefing for Westminster journalists, she said: We have a regulatory regime in place and we have bodies that are there to enforce them and there is clearly a responsibility on retailers as well.

The FSA are looking at this issue. There are routine tests carried out but it is really up to retailers to ensure that what they are selling to people who cook food for other people to consume is what it is on the label.

She told reporters: It looks like there have been acts of criminality, which is why the police are involved.

Asked if that included UK officers, she said: They are involved."

Findus last night admitted it had no idea how LONG the products had been on sale or how MANY families had bought them.

Tests on 18 sample meals found 11 were at least 60 per cent horse while one was virtually nothing but. The findings which raised the spectre of human food being contaminated with vets drugs are a major humiliation for the Government.

Labour shadow environment secretary Mary Creagh accused it of being complacent over the scandals scale and whether fraud was involved.

She said: British ministers are asleep on the job. This is no longer just a food safety issue but possibly an international criminal trade.

Red-faced officials at the Food Standards Agency have urged families who bought the ready meals to take them back to shops unopened.

 

And they ordered Findus to check whether the lasagne contained phenylbutazone an animal painkiller linked to harmful effects, including potentially causing cancer, in humans.

 

Findus only admitted a problem with the meals after The Sun reported it had recalled them.

The dishes affected are all frozen Findus Beef Lasagne, 320g, 360g and 500g sizes.

 

A spokesman said: Samples were taken from a variety of products. Some samples were as low as 5 per cent and one was 99 per cent.

 

The products were bought from Comigel, a French meat supplier.

Tesco has withdrawn an Everyday Value Spaghetti Bolognese bought from the same source in Metz, north east France.

Okay... Goat. It's kinda like lamb. They're in the same classification of ovines, and ruminants (grass eaters), but goats eat the occasional tin can, and sheep don't. Goat is a bit more stringy, and a tad more gamy tasting, but it's decent meat. And there's loads of ways ta cook all of 'em. Horses tu!

What the hell's a horse anyway? It's a domesticated zebra! Africans have been eating zebra since time began!

So I guess my beef is that "horse meat" doesnt seem to
be included in the "lable of contents". Thats fucking trickery.
The consumption of horsemeat always has this connotation
associated with it as a "prisoner food" or what the poorest
get. Sure my cats of the past ate some horse. Still think I
have ate little horsemeat so far.

So now Horsemeat may be the better of the new "meat". Now
enters "Donkey meat" being passed on as "horsemeat".
Pretty sure I have no taste recognition of either horse or
donkey meat unless it was in bologna in my youth.

Horse meat found in British supermarkets 'may be donkey'

I'm surprised that no one has investigated Arby's.

They've offered "Horsey sauce" for decades....
