Asda withdraws burger range supplied by NI company
The supermarket chain, Asda, has withdrawn four frozen burger products supplied by Northern Ireland company, Freeza Meats, as a precaution, in the wake of the horsemeat controversy.
A batch of meat containing 80% horse DNA was discovered in a cold store at Freeza Meats in Newry.
The Newry company said it was storing the meat for a firm based in the Irish Republic, after declining to buy it.
Freeza Meat said none of the meat had got into the food chain.
