Last month, horse meat found in supermarkets beefburgers. Now it's the dishes - and with new results next week, the information may not be over yet

The history of horse meat has finished hundreds of millions of cheap hamburgers and meat has opened a window into the hidden world, bad food, in which live animals are transported to the distances across borders for slaughter before being stripped of its components are returned in blocks of frozen cuts that can be stored for months before being crushed into unrecognizable ingredients in our daily meals.

The food industry likes to boast that it has full traceability of the food chain, but the current crisis proves unpretentious, is that they have lost control. The system is as secure as the paper it is written, and as honest as his villains more enterprising.

As the scandal of horsemeat has entered its fourth week, it was difficult to monitor, manufacturers, suppliers and authorities worked together to control the flow of information and especially, refused to answer questions other than immediate income were forced to do what the test results came

But at the end of the week, the image of a large-scale fraud loomed food. Horse meat is forged, not only cheap hamburgers who started the food crisis in Ireland and the UK for almost a month, but the mark of a great beef lasagna prepared meals. The retired supermarket spaghetti bolognese and meatballs made in the same factories, for fear of what they can find.

What began outrage Beef Burgers daily Tesco Value, revealed that 29% of horse meat in January, pales into insignificance next to the "meat" in lasagna meat company Findus admitted Thursday was 100% equine. He had begun to withdraw their products in stores across the UK on Monday, after a warning from your supplier, Comigel French manufacturer, which "could be a problem with the labeling". Limit the damage Burson Marsteller PR expert hired by Findus, the dubious consolation offered their product was only 15% "meat" anyway. Tesco and Aldi, Comigel source also decided to withdraw their meat meal, while the test to see what was in them.

admission scandal has gone into high gear, pulling in another European country and manufacturer without any apparent link with the meat processing giant Irish, ABP, which was at the center of allegations when it broke horse for the first time, blaming economic blocs frozen sections imported from Poland.

But when the food comes riding surface referred to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has taken the offensive television and public radio saying that he had already ordered food companies to test all their beef products - burgers, meatballs, lasagna and other dishes prepared - the presence of horse meat, and provide the results of the February 15

The Irish authorities have called the police to investigate what they call a high criminal fraud in the food supply chain. Meanwhile, more than 200 million hamburgers were removed from the shelves and outlets of fast food, according to some estimates.

What is food security? The FSA indicates that it is an investigation of "mislabeled meat" - there is nothing illegal about flogging a dead horse as long as you identify it in the container. He also reassured consumers without regard to food safety, but advised all those who had bought Findus food not to eat meat, and have not yet been tested for phenylbutazone, a drug commonly used for Horses that are not as dangerous in the human food chain. It can cause serious blood disorders in rare cases. Until the authorities discovered the origin of the horse meat can not be sure what kind of horses, which country and what parts of it, which contain drug residues were eating .

In the United Kingdom, seven licensed abattoirs to kill horses for human consumption. No link has been established between the slaughter of horses in the UK and the current scandal. However, the FSA has been pursuing the details of horses slaughtered for meat in the UK to come to contain residues of prohibited "stumbles" drug. Research showed that nine horses from slaughterhouses in the United Kingdom last year tested positive. Six were exported to France, in both cases, the FSA is trying to locate the bodies, and in another case, the horse has not been exported, but was purchased by two locals in the UK "for personal use." He fell in Kirklees and advice Chorley to try to recover the meat.

authorities have also been concerned for some time about the extent of trade in low value these horses - at considerable cost transportation between countries seems to have no economic sense if any criminal activity is involved However, the number of horses sent between countries has more than doubled in recent years. A tripartite agreement between the United Kingdom, France and Ireland allows horses to move between the three countries that do not have health certificates.
