Testing of processed beef products

Gatwick, February 19, 2013

We can confirm that Nestlé has tested samples of all of its processed beef products sold by Nestlé in the UK and Ireland, as prioritised by the FSA.

These consist of seven Jenny Craig products and two Gerber baby food products.

Today (19.2.13) we have received the results of our internal tests which have confirmed no presence of horse DNA in any of these products.

Nestlé UK is part of the industry reporting process and these results will be submitted via the Food and Drink Federation, our industry body, to the FSA in this week’s reporting cycle.

We will continue to test our products in accordance with the FSA’s priorities and the results will be reported to the FSA.
