"Then I would eat this sausage"



[ad_1]

Gustavskorv is forced to recall more than eight tons of sausage and horse meat after drug discovery in a slaughtered horse.

During an inspection, the National Food Administration discovered unauthorized drugs on a horse shot in Skåne. Since then, the horse was cut in Stockholm and then found at Gustafskorv in Backa.

– The horse meat of about 300 kilos was then mixed at about eight tons, so the drug spread on a large amount of meat, said Lars Edvinsson, CEO of the company.

Is it dangerous to eat?

– We have not had time to sample sausages yet, but I would eat such a sausage if it was here because the meat is so mixed.

What is it for drugs?

– Anti-inflammatory agent.

Gustafskorv is mainly sold in Dalarna, but some customers are also located in Mälardalen.

There are traces of the current horse meat in Gustafskorv or horse meat sliced ​​smoked with spruce.

The products are sold by various wholesalers and can therefore be sold in all grocery stores.

– Most of the customers we have in Dalarna and some in Mälardalen, says the CEO.

To find out if you have bought sausages or horse meat that may contain traces of the unauthorized drug, look for the lot number shown on the label. According to the company's website, all products bearing the numbers 3755 (sliced ​​horse meat smoked in spruce) and numbers 3757, 3758 and 3759 (Gustafskorv) are recalled.

– If you have this number, you must return the product to the store.

Customers who bought Gustafskorv in the Rättvik market do not have to worry. These sausages do not belong to those recalled. (The picture is taken at another time)

After the alarm, Lars Edvinsson received many questions from sausage lovers. It can at least calm those who bought sausages at the Rättvik market.

– This sausage does not have this lot number and should not be revoked.

The sausages recalled are worth around 700 000 SEK and correspond to a roughly normal production of one week in Gustafskorv. The CEO does not believe there will be legal action after this has happened.

– No, it becomes difficult to prove who made the mistake, says Lars Edvinsson.
