is how long this has been going on for and possibly what's lurking in freezers too. I'm not usually in the least bit fussy about what I eat but am beginning to wonder now despite the fact I'm having haggis for lunch.

I would assume for the time being that fish remains safe.

edit to add : its reached Germany now too.

Horsemeat scandal: Germany pulls lasagne off shelves.

Horsemeat has been detected in frozen lasagne on sale in Germany and supermarkets have started removing the product from their shelves.

The Real supermarket chain said it had withdrawn TiP frozen lasagne - the latest tainted processed food to figure in a Europe-wide scandal.

Other German retailers including Tengelmann and Rewe are now checking their processed beef products too.

The EU is urging member states to conduct random tests for horsemeat.
