歐洲驚爆馬肉風波，就連全球知名連鎖家具商IKEA也在捷克遭驗出販賣的牛肉丸含有馬肉，歐洲15國緊急下架，不過國內IKEA緊急澄清，販賣的牛肉丸是使用澳洲牛肉混台灣豬肉，消費者大可放心。國貿局也說，目前台灣並沒有開放馬肉進口。
一顆又一顆圓滾滾瑞典牛肉丸，沾上肉醬滋味更棒，可是全球連鎖家具商IKEA的暢銷美食，但最近在歐洲卻驚傳，裡頭竟然用馬肉混充，15國緊急下架，國內消費者也人心惶惶。

“就是因為沒看到(製作) 還是會有點擔心”
業者緊急在櫃檯秀出告示，強調國內的牛肉丸，用的是澳洲牛混台灣豬，包裝上也清楚印著台灣製。

“我們的製造商跟我們的肉品來源，跟歐洲是完全不同的，所以我們不會有下架的狀況”
其實國內20年前也曾傳出牛肉麵有馬肉魚目混珠，如果真有該怎麼區分呢？美食專家坦言不容易。

“吃起來呢它會比較有嚼勁，這是馬肉，那如果說真的煮熟的話，而且又是重口味的煮法，其實很多人很難判斷出它跟牛肉間的差別”
政府表示，目前台灣禁止輸入馬肉，因此民眾也不必過分恐慌會誤把馬肉吃下肚。
After horse meat turned up in frozen beef lasagna dinners in Europe, a similar food scare is affecting furniture retailer IKEA. Its meatballs in the Czech Republic have been found to contain horse meat, leading to an immediate recall in 15 European countries. But a local public relations manager says IKEA Taiwan uses different suppliers so people have no reason for concern.
These plump Swedish beef balls covered in gravy were once a popular item sold by IKEA. But they are now part of Europe’s growing horse meat scandal and 15 countries have initiated an immediate recall.
“I am still a little worried because I did not see how they produce these meatballs.”
In Taiwan IKEA immediately posted signs at its food counters explaining that all of its beef balls are produced with a mixture of Australian cattle and Taiwan pork. The package clearly states that the product is made in Taiwan.

Our manufacturer and suppliers are completely different from the Europe outlets, so these meat products won’t be taken off the shelf.
About 20 years ago in Taiwan there was a rumor that some beef noodles contained horse meat. One culinary expert says it’s difficult to distinguish horse meat billed as beef.

Food Critic
Horse meat is a little chewier, and if it is cooked, it has a little heavier taste. If strong flavors are added it would be difficult for people to tell it apart from beef.
Taiwan prohibits the import of horse meat, and the government is confident that none has entered the local food supply.
