Nestle Removes Products Said to Contain Horse DNA


Two Nestle products are to be pulled from supermarket shelves in Italy and Spain in light of a horsemeat scandal.

Nestle made a statement Monday saying it plans to immediately remove Buitoni Beef Ravioli and Beef Tortellini from shelves.

The company conducted tests that found traces of horse DNA in the products pulled from shelves.


A spokesman for Nestle said that the horse DNA was very low in the products and above the 1% threshold used by the U.K. Food Safety Agency to detect negligence.
