Horsemeat scandal: UK and EU Withdrawn products and test results

25 February 2013 Last updated at 13:18 GMT

The discovery of horsemeat in beef products has led to a range of processed foods being withdrawn from sale across Europe.

Retailers and suppliers have been conducting tests to try to determine to what extent, if any, horsemeat is contained in their products labelled as beef.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says 3,634 tests have been carried out in the UK so far, with 35 tests showing the presence of horsemeat. As products were tested multiple times, the 35 positive results relate to only 13 different products, including Findus beef lasagne, which yielded at least 15 positive results.

This table is being updated as results emerge.
