AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch food safety authorities ordered five Dutch companies to recall 11,000 kg of improperly labelled French horsemeat that was turned into food products in the Netherlands, the Economic Affairs Ministry said in letter published on Tuesday.
However, the ministry said the food had been delivered via Belgium to the Netherlands between January and October last year and had probably been consumed. The meat was improperly labelled as beef and was not fit for human consumption, it said in the letter to parliament.
