Dive Summary:
- The French food processor and supplier Comigel has informed Findus UK and Aldi that Findus Beef Lasagne, Aldi's Today's Special Frozen Beef Lasagne and Today's Special Frozen Spaghetti Bolognese "do not conform to specifications."
- Tesco, whose Everyday Value spaghetti bolognese is produced at the same Comigel site, has pulled its product as a preemptive measure.
- Comigel claims it issued the recall due to a "labelling issue" but, as details continue to emerge in the ongoing horse meat controversy, Tesco plans to DNA test its product while Findus is "conducting a full reassessment" and Aldi conducts an "investigation into the factory concerned."
