Nestle drawn into Europe's horsemeat scandal






Nestle caught using horse meat instead of beef in some of their products in Europe

Nestle late Monday said it was removing two chilled pasta products, Buitoni Beef Ravioli and Beef Tortellini, from shelves in Italy and Spain immediately, and will also withdraw a frozen meat product for catering businesses.
