Horsemeat sold as 'diced beef' in the UK

Horsemeat weighing 40kg (88lb) has been sold to shoppers in the UK while wrongly labelled as beef, the country's Food Standards Agency said.

The meat was part of a consignment of 100kg (220lb) of equine flesh labelled as “diced beef” which was imported from Hungary and discovered by Lancashire County Council, the FSA said.
