France traces suspect Polish beef

FrenchFrench authorities said today that 795kg of suspect beef from a scandal-hit Polish slaughterhouse, where sick cows were filmed being illegally butchered, had been imported into the country, reports the Malay Mail.

Agriculture minister Didier Guillaume said “150kg have already been recovered”, adding that authorities were working to seize the rest.

“We’ll know where we are on that sometime today,” he told CNews television. “The traceability of products, once they arrive in France, works quite well.”

Guillaume said nine French companies had been “duped” into importing beef from the slaughterhouse in Kalinowo, a village some 100km northeast of Warsaw.
