More results of beef product testing published

The food industry has continued to test beef products for the presence of  horse meat as part of their assurance controls. To date, a total of 24,480 test  results have been submitted by the food industry, including 19,050 test results  submitted since the last report on industry testing published on 1 March. Around  15,000 of the new results have been provided by a single company, the ABP Food
Group.

 The new test results show that three beef products tested positive for horse meat at or above the 1% threshold. None tested positive for the veterinary drug phenylbutazone (bute). Information on these results has been in the public  domain since March when action was taken to remove the products from sale. The
products are:
