No Horse DNA Found In Nestlé UK Beef Products
Following the discovery of traces of horsemeat in two products in France and Spain, Nestlé, the world’s largest food company, has said tests on nine processed beef products available in the UK found no equine contamination.
The results of Nestlé UK's tests were released a day after its parent company became implicated in the pan-European scandal.
Seven Jenny Craig dishes and two Gerber baby foods were tested.
Jenny Craig products are delivered directly to the homes of customers as part of a weight-loss programme costing nearly £250 a month.
The company said in a statement: "We can confirm that Nestlé has tested samples of all of its processed beef products sold in the UK and Ireland, as prioritised by the FSA. These consist of seven Jenny Craig products and two Gerber baby food products. Today we have received the results of our internal tests which have confirmed no presence of horse DNA in any of these products."
