TESCO, Scotland's largest supermarket chain, has withdrawn all own-brand beef burgers from all stores in the UK and Ireland after horse DNA was found in some being sold in supermarkets.
The world's third-largest retailer, with nearly 200 stores in Scotland and 3000 across the UK, took the action last night with immediate effect "as a precautionary measure only" after the Republic of Ireland's food safety authority (FSAI) discovered the tainted burgers.The burgers were on sale in Tesco and Iceland in the UK and Ireland. In the Republic of Ireland they were on sale in Dunnes Stores, Lidl and Aldi.
