PORTUGUESE authorities have seized 87 tons of beef products containing traces of horsemeat in recent days and opened criminal proceedings against five local companies.
Horsemeat has been found mixed into beef dishes sold across Europe, including in frozen supermarket meals. It has also been found in meals served at restaurants, schools and hospitals.
Portugal's Food Safety Agency said late Tuesday it made the seizures at companies that process, package and distribute meat to large retail outlets.
The agency also took almost 19,000 pre-packed products from Portuguese stores after detecting horsemeat in them.
