Three major grocery retailers – Sandpiper CI, which owns Iceland and Checkers Express, the Co-operative and SPAR stores – have all confirmed that their stores stocked Findus lasagne, which the manufacturer has admitted were made with up to 100 per cent horse meat.
It is the first time items containing horse have been found on Jersey shelves, following a UK-wide scandal over the meat being found in products labelled as beef.
The Co-op is now carrying out tests to check whether their own-branded beef products contain any horse meat.
