馬肉醜聞延燒致Ikea瑞典肉丸
Czech (捷克) authorities (當局) have discovered
horsemeat in Swedish meatballs produced for the furniture giant Ikea and labeled as (被標示為) beef and pork, reports the Huffington Post. It’s the latest — and
so far, most unlikely — company to be dragged into (捲入) the European
horsemeat scandal that began early this year.
The Czech State Veterinary Administration (捷克國家獸醫管理部) has found horsemeat in 1-kg packs of the Kottbullar (瑞典肉丸) frozen
meatballs produced in Sweden. Ikea confirmed (證實) on its Facebook
page that it would halt
(停止) sale of meatballs in Sweden and later withdrew (撤銷) the meat from 14
countries across Europe. The company has said the batch (一批生產量) tested had
also been exported to Slovakia, Hungary, France, the U.K., Portugal, the
Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and the Republic of Ireland,
notes the BBC. Further
(進一步的) tests found that 760 kg of meatballs contained (包含) horsemeat.
However, the Swedish company says other
regions are not at risk and does not plan to halt shipments of its meat to the
U.S. “Our global recommendation
(建議) is to not recall
(收回、撤銷) or stop selling meatballs,” spokesperson Ylva Magnusson told the
Huffington Post. She said there was no reason to halt its sales in America and
that Ikea tests carried out two weeks ago on a range of frozen foods found no traces (絲毫) of horsemeat. Magnusson has revealed that all meatballs supplied
to Ikea come from Gunnar Dafgard AB — a family-run frozen-food company in
Sweden that has yet to comment.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the French Agriculture Ministry
(法國農業部) announced on Saturday that horsemeat containing the potentially
harmful drug phenylbutazone — an anti-inflammatory (發炎) treatment used on
horses that can cause serious blood
disorders (血液失調) — had entered the French food chain.
In response to the scandal, French President François Hollande has promised to
push for mandatory (強制) labeling
(加註標示) of meat in ready-made meals, writes thejournal.ie.
Sweden is one of a growing list of European
countries to have been affected by the horsemeat scandal ever since horsemeat
was found in Irish beef burgers in January. The following 17 countries have
been hit (襲擊) so far:
Republic of Ireland
U.K.
France
Sweden
Germany
Switzerland
The Netherlands
Norway
Denmark
Austria
Bulgaria
Finland
Belgium
Spain
Italy
Portugal
Poland
