Ikea pulled its beloved Swedish meatball dish off the company's specialty foods menu in 14 European countries after Czech inspectors found traces of horse meat in frozen meatballs supposedly made of beef and pork.
According to the BBC, the "concerned batch" of meatballs were shipped to Ikea outlets in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, France, the U.K., Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and the Republic of Ireland. The retailer also stopped sales of the meatballs in Sweden.
