Europe's horsemeat scandal is spreading, as French consumer safety
authorities say companies from Romania, Cyprus and the Netherlands were
part of a supply chain that resulted in horsemeat being disguised as
beef in frozen lasagna sold around the continent.
French companies were also part of the supply chain.
France's
junior minister for consumer goods, Benoit Hamon, said Saturday an
initial investigation shows that one of the French companies bought
frozen meat from a Cypriot trader, who had received the meat from a
Dutch food company. And that Dutch company had received the meat from a
Romanian supplier.
Romanian authorities are investigating. Dutch authorities say they are ready to investigate if necessary.
Lasagna
meals and burgers suspected of containing horse meat have been pulled
from shelves in Britain, Ireland, Sweden and France.
