Ikea recently recalled its Swedish meatballs in Europe after detecting horse meat. European Union officials claim that their oversight was not aimed at preserving the reputation of any food product. After testing, the results found that food adulteration is even more common than it is believed and detected massive fraud among E.U. food industries. The detection of horse meat in Ireland questioned the maintaining and testing within its slaughterhouses. Even the best food makers in Europe in the highest quality super market chains have found cases of adulteration. As far as Ikea and its massive consumption of meatballs, their testing did not find horse meat in their products before Czech authorities did, which means that they did not intentionally sell contaminated products.
