JBS takes action in Europe over horsemeat scandal
20/02/2013
When the presence of horsemeat came to light following DNA tests on February 18, JBS suspended its contracts with Schypke and said it would stop marketing European meat until confidence is restored in the European beef supply chain.
It added: “No case of co-mingling of species has been identified in products produced in or at JBS factories. As a sign of confidence from its customer base, no supply contracts have been suspended or interrupted and products are being delivered as contracted from the company’s own production facilities.”
