Officials say Germany also received shipment of mislabeled horsemeat lasagna
European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy Tonio Borg addresses the media on the horsemeat scandal, at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013. Millions of burgers and frozen meals have been recalled around Europe and many accusations have been made, but so far it's not clear how horsemeat got introduced into so many beef products. French authorities have already pointed to an elaborate supply chain that involved Romanian butchers and Dutch and Cypriot traders that resulted in horsemeat disguised as beef being sold in meals like lasagna and moussaka to consumers around the continent.

BERLIN - The European horsemeat scandal has spread to Germany.
A spokeswoman for the country's agriculture and consumer protection ministry says officials were notified late Tuesday that a shipment of frozen lasagna containing horsemeat was delivered to at least one trader in western Germany.
Mareike Enderle told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday that it is unclear whether the products were all removed from shelves before sale.
Enderle said Germany was alerted by authorities in Luxembourg, but she offered no details on where the horsemeat originated or where the lasagna was manufactured.
Millions of burgers and frozen meals have been recalled across Europe since British authorities first discovered horsemeat mislabeled as beef in processed food last month.
