Netherlands Recalls 50,000 Tons of Possibly Tainted Meat
European horsemeat scandal continues
Some 50,000 tonnes of meat supplied by two Dutch trading companies and sold as beef across Europe since January 2011 may have contained horsemeat.
The meat is being recalled where possible, the Dutch authorities say.
There was no evidence that the meat was a threat to human health, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority said.

Just send the meat to France. All parties will be tickled pink. It's a win win for all.
