A MAJOR food company whose chief executive is the brother of the Minister for Agriculture has confirmed that one of its beef products has been found to contain traces of horse meat.
Products manufactured by Greencore, a publicly traded company headquartered in Santry, have been taken off the shelves by Asda after positive tests on a beef bolognaise sauce product.
Asda has withdrawn that product and three others manufactured at the same Greencore plant in Bristol.
Greencore is run by Patrick Coveney, the brother of the Minister for Agriculture, Simon Coveney – who yesterday convened a special meeting of his EU counterparts in Brussels to discuss an EU-wide approach to the problem.
Greencore produces 150 million prepared meals a year at its five British plants, including the facility in Bristol.

I've just written a similar post! I find it so scary how little people know about what is in their food!
This is very scary. More than ever we should buy fresh and not processed meat and other food products. Allow a little more time to prepare fresh food it is worth doing.
