FSA: Horsemeat probe focuses on European suppliers
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says its investigation into the horsemeat beef burger scandal is focusing on European suppliers who sent their products to the companies that made the burgers for the supermarkets.
The FSA says their colleagues in Ireland found one sample that was positive for horse DNA in raw materials sent from Europe to the Silvercrest processing plant in Ireland.
The FSA is now looking to see if raw materials supplied to the Dalepak plant in Yorkshire from Europe are also contaminated - and whether the two plants have the same European suppliers.
