"Shoppers who bought the lasagne meals, which are produced by French food supplier Comigel on behalf of Findus, have now been warned not to eat them.
Retail giant Tesco and discount chain Aldi withdrew a range of ready meals produced by Comigel over fears they contained contaminated meat.
The FSA said there is no evidence to suggest the horse meat found is a food safety risk.
But the agency confirmed tests have been ordered on the lasagne for the veterinary drug phenylbutazone. Animals treated with "bute" are not allowed to enter the food chain."
Findus has a hard earned good reputation for good food at a reasonable price. If a company like Findus does not know what is in it’s processed foods and ready meals the situation is pretty grim. All the more reason to base your meals on fresh vegetables, add some good proteins and quality fats. The less man has been involved the better. Don’t base your food on a failed science experiment or greed by big international food outfits, buy fresh and local wherever possible.

My personal thought is that there will still be more revelations to come and definitely it is ever more important not to "base your food on a failed science experiment or greed by big international food outfits, buy fresh and local wherever possible."

If you are fortunate to live where you have a farmers market or similar you can't beat them for good meat and vegetables.This episode shows more and more it is best to steer clear of the processed foods and instant meals that so many are eating.

As I first thought this situation is growing worse as each day has brought more news. Budget cuts to the food standards agency has not helped but it is perhaps greed that has bought about this very un-satisfactory situation. Some-one in the chain of events knew about this and no doubt money played its part for people to look the other way.
