　　Horsemeat found in burgers made for British supermarkets was imported from Poland

　　International: The diverse origins of British meat highlight the need for control over the food supply chain

　　Horsemeat found in be burgers manufactured for British supermarkets was imported from Poland, it emerged last night.

　　Tests have revealed that ‘raw material’ supplied to an Irish processing plant, which made burgers for Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and Iceland, contained as much as 20 percent horse DNA, the Irish Government said.

　　Around 10million be burgers have been withdrawn from sale by supermarkets, and other smaller retailers in the UK, since the scandal, which centred around the Silvercrest factory, in County Monaghan, broke earlier this month.

　　Customers and food standards experts were lt reeling after tests by the Foods Safety Authority of Ireland revealed burgers supplied to Tesco – Britain’s biggest supermarket chain - contained 29.1 percent horse DNA.

　　Burger King also stopped using Silvercrest’s products, although there was no horsemeat found in burgers sold by the fast food chain.

　　Simon Coveney, the Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, said the latest tests were a ‘major breakthrough’ in their investigation to identify the source of the contaminated products.

　　He had initially suggested imported ingredients from Spain and the Netherlands were to blame, but yesterday revealed the ‘likely’ source was an unnamed factory in the eastern European country.

　　Mr Coveney said the raw material was made from ‘low value’ cuts of meat.

　　‘It’s fat cuts, trims, de-sinewed meats,’ Mr Coveney said. ‘There was equine DNA, which is horsemeat, in the product.

　　‘There is no evidence to suggest that anyone knowingly imported product that had horse DNA in it, but clearly that is what happened.’

　　The minister said the ABP Food Group, which owns the plant, had now agreed to source meat only from the UK and Ireland and to introduce regular DNA testing of meat at Silvercrest and its sister factory, Dalepak Hambleton, north Yorkshire.

　　However, the firm, which denied the contaminated meat had come from the company’s plant in Poznan, Poland, rused to say whether it was permitted to use the Polish ingredient in Tesco’s burgers.

　　【中文對(duì)照翻譯】

　　據(jù)昨晚報(bào)道稱(chēng)，英國(guó)超市專(zhuān)供牛肉漢堡中發(fā)現(xiàn)的馬肉進(jìn)口自波蘭。

　　愛(ài)爾蘭政府稱(chēng)，經(jīng)檢測(cè)，提供給一家愛(ài)爾蘭加工廠的“原材料”中含有多達(dá)20%的馬肉DNA。這家加工廠為樂(lè)購(gòu)超市、阿爾迪超市、里德?tīng)柍泻捅鶏u超市供應(yīng)漢堡。

　　自從本月早些時(shí)候英國(guó)莫納亨郡銀冠廠曝出這一丑聞后，已有近1000萬(wàn)只漢堡從超市和該廠附近的小零售店中下架。

　　愛(ài)爾蘭食品安全局的檢測(cè)結(jié)果顯示，供給英國(guó)最大連鎖超市——樂(lè)購(gòu)超市的漢堡中含有29.1%的馬肉DNA，此事隨即在消費(fèi)者與食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)專(zhuān)家中引發(fā)轟動(dòng)。

　　快餐連鎖店漢堡王也停止使用銀冠廠提供的產(chǎn)品，雖然其銷(xiāo)售的漢堡中未發(fā)現(xiàn)馬肉。

　　愛(ài)爾蘭農(nóng)業(yè)、食品與海洋部部長(zhǎng)西蒙?柯文尼稱(chēng)，近期進(jìn)行的檢測(cè)是他們調(diào)查摻假產(chǎn)品源頭的“一次重大突破”。

　　他最初認(rèn)為，從西班牙和荷蘭進(jìn)口的食材是罪魁禍?zhǔn)?，不過(guò)昨天他又透露，這一東歐國(guó)家的一家不知名工廠才是“可能的”源頭。

　　柯文尼稱(chēng)，原材料是由“廉價(jià)的”碎肉制成。

　　“全是經(jīng)過(guò)了剪切、剔除了腱子肉的肥膘塊，”柯文尼說(shuō)，“產(chǎn)品中含有馬肉DNA”。

　　“雖然還未找到證據(jù)證明有人明知這些產(chǎn)品中含有馬肉DNA卻還進(jìn)口，但事實(shí)已然明了。”

　　部長(zhǎng)表示，該工廠所有者ABP食品集團(tuán)現(xiàn)已同意只采用英國(guó)和愛(ài)爾蘭的肉源，并同意定期對(duì)銀冠廠及位于北約克郡的分廠達(dá)萊帕克?漢布萊頓廠采用的肉進(jìn)行DNA檢測(cè)。

　　不過(guò)，該公司否認(rèn)摻假馬肉源自它在波蘭波茲南的工廠，而且拒絕透露是否得到許可在供給樂(lè)購(gòu)超市的漢堡中采用波蘭原料。
