2013-02-19, Food Giant Nestle Recalls BEEF Products After Horse DNA Discovery; Now Ikea Joins The Scandel

First it was food giant Nestle recalling BEEF products after horse meat discovery; now (Monday), Swedish furniture giant Ikea has been drawn into Europe's 

widening food labelling scandal Monday as authorities 

said they had detected horsemeat in frozen meatballs 

LABELLED AS BEEF AND PORK and sold in 13 

countries across the continent.

(CNN) -- Nestle is suspending deliveries of all its products that include beef from a German supplier because "traces of horse DNA" were found in the meat, the Swiss-based food giant said on its website Monday.

Unauthorized horse meat has been discovered in a variety of products labelled as beef that were sold in supermarkets in countries including Britain, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany and Ireland.
Do you have any idea, at all, of what you are talking about- you know, those things that you grew up knowing, those things everybody knows ALL ABOUT; or a least likes to BELIEVE they do?

NOTE: The original report does not state that these products actually contained what the average person would consider to be horse meat; or that horse meat was deliberately; or even accidentally, added to these products.

What the report does say is that "traces horse DNA were found in the meat".

The most probable source of this contamination is our old friend "pink 'slime" which (especially true of North America) is added to over 70% of all meat (beef, pork, and poultry) products. 

These facts do clearly indicate however that  the consumer no longer has ANY IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY EATING. If there is horse DNA in these products; there may also be lamb, mutton, pork, poultry, and other DNA; the greatest and most serious threat, other than to your health, being to various ethnic/religious (East Asian) groups. 

Canada Safeway is recalling certain frozen beef burgers that may, yet once again, be contaminated with E. coli. They are under their in-store Gourmet Meat Shoppe and Butcher's Cut brands, and were distributed to their stores throughout Western Canada.

The affected products have a best before date of August 14th.
