[HACCPEuropa](http://www.haccpeuropa.com/2014/01/31/dutch-food-safety-authority-finds-horse-meat-beef/?ref=foodsafetynews.com) reports that the Dutch Food Safety Authority NVWA has found horsemeat in shipments of beef from Van Hattern Vlees company in Dodewaard. NVWA reportedly stopped the sale of 690 tons of beef from being sold at supermarket chains and from being exported. Company records are apparently unclear about which consignments contain horsemeat and how many horses have been slaughtered.
