Prague: The Czech veterinary authority says it has detected
horsemeat in meat balls labelled as beef and pork imported to the
country by Sweden's furniture retailer giant Ikea.
The State Veterinary Administration says the one-kilogram packs of the frozen meatballs were made in Sweden to be sold in Ikea's furniture stores that also offer typical Swedish food.
A total of 760 kilograms (1,675 pounds) of the meatballs were stopped from reaching the shelves in the Czech Republic.
The authority on Monday said horsemeat was also found in beef burgers imported from Poland.
Last week, the Czechs detected horsemeat for the first time in lasagna Bolognese made by frozen food processor Tavola SA Comigel and sold at Tesco.
