Tesco has removed a line of its own-brand frozen meatloaf from shelves after tests revealed the product contained up to five per cent horse meat.

The supermarket chain has apologised to customers after confirming that its Simply Roast Meatloaf was the fourth of its products to test positive for horse meat.

The findings come less than two weeks after the British Retail Consortium announced that supermarkets had completed DNA testing on minced beef products.

The horsemeat scandal, which began in January, has engulfed major stores and brands including Findus, Birds Eye, Aldi and Asda.
