SINGAPORE - IKEA Singapore has announced that they will resume sale of their meatballs from tomorrow, after DNA tests by a local independent lab confirmed that the meatballs sold locally contain only beef and pork, and the Halal-certified ones only beef and chicken.
The meatballs go on sale at 9.30am at the Swedish Food Market and 10.30am at the restaurant and will be available on a "while stocks last" basis.
The meatballs were taken off the menu last week in the wake of reports that IKEA had stopped selling the meatballs in Europe after DNA testing found them to have traces of horse meat.
The meatballs sold in Singapore contain beef and pork sourced and produced from Australia, while the halal meatballs contain a mixture of chicken from Brazil and beef from Australia and are produced locally.
To mark the meatballs' return, IKEA will sell them at its IKEA Restaurant at both Alexendra and Tampines stores at $0.10 apiece tomorrow.
