ASDA Frozen Mince - withdrawn?

I buy frozen mince from Asda as it's cheaper and easier but this week could not find a single pack, instead the section that usually has it was filled with frozen veg. I checked everywhere and no sign.

Has it been withdrawn? Had to go to Tesco in the end.

    Blimey didn't realise they'd withdrawn so much as a precaution.

  • That would explain it - oh well. Mr T will be getting our custom for a bit.

    Thanks.

    Aye - horsegate has been been a bad business!

    And bad for business, too, i guess?

    They likely have NOT 'withdrawn as a precaution'.
    Every little helps, (their profit).
    :eek:
  • Tesco have listed things differently to Asda, they are divided into tested & found to contain horsemeat & tested & OK so still for sale. No mention of testing for unlisted pork though.
    Several frozen mince products are listed in the OK & still for sale section.

    I personally don't mind if it has horse (or other meat) in it and the risk from bute is very small. If you think about it, we've probably been eating the tainted stuff for years.

    EDIT: Just checked the link and it's been tested free of horse.

    I just don't have the time to go to several different shops to get my normal weekly shop. It already takes 40 mins to get to asda.

    Depends on your line of business, good for local butchers apparently and signs it will be good for the British meat industry! :T

    You're going to another supermarket where horsemeat was found ?

    As I'd previously said I'm not bothered about horsemeat.
