http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/tesco-pulls-value-spaghetti-bolognese-off-shelves-over-horse-meat-fears-8482716.html
Tesco has withdrawn thousands of packets of its Everyday Value spaghetti bolognese amid concerns it could be contaminated with horse meat.
It followed an alert by a French supplier Comigel, which also sells meat products to frozen foods giant Findus. :eek:
Comigel is understood to have reported that some of its ingredients did “not conform” to the product specification.
Findus subsequently recalled its 320g, 360g, and 500g beef lasagne packs.
Tesco said there was no evidence to suggest its value bolognese was contaminated, but it had withdrawn the product as a “precautionary measure”.

Why don't they relabel the products and sell them as horseburgers or whatever at halfprice or less. I bet that other OAPs would snap them up!0
