(about 1 hour later)
British authorities say beef lasagna products recalled from British supermarkets by the frozen-food company Findus have tested positive for more than 60 percent horsemeat. The revelation comes after millions of burgers were taken off shop shelves this month as it emerged that beef products from three companies in Ireland and Britain contained horse DNA. The Food Standards Agency said Thursday that its tests on Findus’s beef lasagna were part of an investigation into mislabeled meat and that there was no evidence the results posed a food safety risk.
