Poland finds horse meat DNA in beef samples

March 01, 2013 02:19

One of Poland's top veterinarians said today that traces of horse-meat DNA have been found in beef samples taken from three meat processors, the first acknowledgement that the country could be a source of the horse meat that fraudulently ended up in processed meat products sold as beef across Europe.

Deputy National Veterinarian Janusz Zwiazek said the DNA was found in three samples out of 121 tested. They came from cold storage at processing plants in central Poland. The meat arrived there from various suppliers in Poland and abroad, including from the Netherlands, Zwiazek told The Associated Press.
