Just wondering about whether the Spanish suppliers of meat have rigorous tests on their products. Whilst in Mercadona today my husband was looking at their own brand Lasagne it didn´t mention what kind of lasagne it was.

Personally I don´t buy ready meals but it does make you wonder where the actual meat is originally from.

Dos marcas comercializan carne de caballo sin advertirlo en el etiquetado.

Eroski?

Sí, Eroski Basic and Alipende, whoever they are! But El Corte Inglés doesn't fair too well, no horse but poor meat.
Scroll down.

Neigh problem with horsemeat.

You have to chuckle a bit (well I do) as its what else is in the processed food (?) that should be of concern IMO.

Mercadona aren´t mentioned.

Yet

Try looking for what sort of meat is in tapas and chorizo.

Findus sell the same lasagne in spain. Have seen it in Alcampo.

Yeh, but their products already went to the dogs last year, so to speak.

Wonder how much compen. they coughed up on that one,....if any ?

Not sure, but every time I eat the stuff I seem to get the trots.

Are the Spanish as squeamish as us re horse meat? Lots in Europe are not.. Only view is if label says 100% beef then I expect to get beef. I have eaten horse before but knew what I was getting.

Personally I think all meat should be labelled on its origins.

Yes agree with that then up to individual what they buy
