I am really surprised that Iceland products have been affected...their QC is really hot on mixed species meat....I know because my daughter was head of QC at a local firm. They supplied Iceland with some products, and their QC found the product to be a 'mixed species' meat. Daughter had to go down to their headquarters and explain how it had happened, and what measures were to be used to prevent the situation from happening again.

I guess it isn't the fact that the burgers contained horsemeat that is the problem, but that products were not labelled appropriately.
Horsemeat is lean, high in protein and nutritious...it is just that some people may not want to eat horse under the guise of beef.
