Hold your horses, Ikea meatballs OK in U.S.
Swedish home goods giant Ikea said no one has been horsing around with the meatballs sold at its U.S. stores, including its Massachusetts outpost in Stoughton.
The top furniture retailer, which sells food in cafeterias at its maze-like stores, withdrew the traditional Swedish meatballs from outlets in 21 European Union countries yesterday after Czech Republic authorities said a batch they tested contained horse meat.
In a statement, Ikea said "customer confidence is of the upmost importance" to the company, and added that all meatballs sold in the chain's U.S. stores are sourced from a different supplier.
The company said it mapped the sources of the meat in its U.S. meatballs and their contents were found to contain only beef and pork from animals raised here and in Canada.
"Ikea is committed to serving and selling high-quality food that is safe, healthy and produced with care for the environment and the people who produce it," the company said. "We do not tolerate any other ingredients than the ones stipulated in our recipes or specifications, secured through set standards, certifications and product analysis by accredited laboratories."
Last month, fast-food behemoth Burger King said it stopped purchasing beef from Irish meat processor Silvercrest Foods whose patties were found also to contain traces of horse meat.
