British schools and hospitals could be at risk in new horse meat fears

DOWNING Street today said that they cannot rule out that horse meat has been served to millions of school pupils and hospital patients.

It emerged last night that beef lasagne meals sold by fast food giants Findus were up to 99 per cent horse.

The food giant has now been ordered to test the dishes for a cancer-causing painkiller used by vets.

Ministers were rapped over the scandal and customers warned to take meals back to shops.
