Horse Meat Scandal – Suspicious canned beef in Romania

The marketing of the “Ardealul” beef cans was halted in Romania for the request of the manufacturer. It is suspicious that horse meat was among the ingredients – the Romanian Mediafax news agency reported on Sunday.

On 8 March, 30 thousand beef cans were locked in the warehouses of the merchants, because “incorrect labeling” is suspected. The results of the laboratory tests are expected for the next week. The Ardealul initiated an investigation among its raw material suppliers. (Baranyi László, MTI)
