Tesco, Dunnes, Lidl, Aldi and Iceland are the supermarkets where the beef burgers were for sale — the supermarkets have stated they will remove all products, said a report by the Irish examiner.
Liffey Meats, Silvercrest Foods (Ireland) and Dalepak Hambleton (UK) are the three processing plants where the beef burgers with horse DNA were made.
