Beefburgers which were found to contain horse meat have been taken off the shelves of Tesco and Iceland in Gloucester.
The traces of horse DNA were found in 10 burgers tested by the Food Standards Authority – most were low levels but one registered horse DNA of 29 per cent relative to beef content.
More than two-thirds of the beef ready-meals tested also had traces of pig DNA.
A total of 27 products were analysed.
But Gloucestershire's Trading Standards team haven't received any queries from concerned residents since the news broke yesterday.
A spokesperson said they had no specific advice for consumers and that they should take food labelling at 'face value'.
An investigation will now be carried out to find out how the horse meat got into the supply chain.
The horse meat poses no risk to human health – as it is eaten in several countries across the world.
But all of the supermarkets affected have voluntarily taken the stock off the shelves.
