IKEA Meatballs Pulled After Horse-meat Traces Found
IKEA on Monday became the latest company to be drawn into Europe's horse-meat scandal, as the Swedish furniture giant said it had temporarily halted all sales of meatballs in 21 European countries to avoid upsetting customers.
宜家(IKEA)周一成为又一家卷入欧洲马肉丑闻的公司。这家瑞典家具巨头说,为避免令顾客感到不安,已在21个欧洲国家暂停肉丸的销售。
The move comes after Czech food inspectors found traces of horse meat in IKEA's meatballs.
宜家是在捷克食品检查机构在宜家的肉丸中检测出马肉后采取这一举措的。
'We've decided to stop all sales of meatballs in most European countries in order to not create worries for our customers pending the results of our own tests,' IKEA spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson said.
宜家发言人马格努松(Ylva Magnusson)说,在我们自己的检测结果出炉之前,为避免令顾客感到不安,我们已经决定在大部分欧洲国家停售肉丸。
Most of IKEA's meatballs sold in Europe are produced by a single Swedish supplier, Familjen Dafgård. The only exceptions are Norway, Russia, Switzerland and Poland, where meatballs are made by local suppliers and will remain available at IKEA stores there, Ms. Magnusson said.
宜家在欧洲销售的大部分肉丸都是由瑞典供应商Familjen Dafgard独家生产的。马格努松说,只除了挪威、俄罗斯、瑞士和波兰;在这些国家,肉丸是由当地供应商生产的,宜家在这些国家的门店仍会继续销售肉丸。
The furniture giant earlier Monday pulled a batch of frozen meatballs tested horse-positive by Czech authorities and marketed as Köttbullar from all countries where they had been sold: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, France, the U.K., Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Greece, Cyprus and Ireland.
这家家具巨头周一早些时候从所有相关国家下架了一批被捷克有关部门检测出含有马肉的冷冻瑞典肉丸。这些国家包括捷克、斯洛伐克、匈牙利、法国、英国、葡萄牙、意大利、荷兰、比利时、西班牙、希腊、塞浦路斯和爱尔兰。 |
