Tesco withdraws another meat product with horse

Tesco has withdrawn a line of frozen meatloaf made in Northern Ireland after tests revealed it contained between 2% and 5% horsemeat, it said tonight.

It said it had pulled the 600g packs of Tesco Simply Roast Meatloaf made between October last year and January at Eurostock in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, from its shelves.

The supermarket said it was the fourth of its products to test positive for horsemeat contamination.
