ABP Food determined to work through 'Silvercrest incident' after burgers scandal

The ABP Food group has said it will not allow the "Slivercrest incident" at the centre of the recent horsemeat-in-burgers controversy to overshadow the whole business.

Tesco this morning announced it had cancelled its €15m Silvercrest contract for frozen meats products after Food Safety Authority tests discovered horse DNA in three Tesco frozen beefburger lines as well as in products in other supermarkets. One of the Tesco burgers was 29% horsemeat.
