3663 own brands test negative for horsemeat

20 Feb 2013

Following the FSA announcement on horsemeat testing results,  3663 can confirm that we have now received all the test results for 3663 own brand products containing comminuted beef and that all of these have come back negative for the presence of horsemeat.

We continue to compile all the test results from our branded suppliers in line with the FSA recommendations and will keep you updated with these as they are released. Rest assured if we have any reason to suspect any possible contamination of horsemeat in any of our branded supplier lines we immediately take the following actions:

1. We will withdraw from sale to our customers any comminuted beef lines from suppliers who become connected with any suspicion of potential horsemeat contamination.
2. These lines will remain off sale until they have been tested and proved not to contain any horsemeat.
3. If any are found to contain horsemeat we will pro-actively recall these products.
4. We will continue to provide our customers with a range of suitable alternative products including our own brand lines and fresh meat range.

As a leading distributor of own brand and manufactured food brands, 3663 are committed to maintaining customers trust in the food they buy from us.
