Sodexo Responds to Erroneous Allegations on Meat Sourcing

It is accurate that five years ago, our operations in the United Kingdom found elements of horsemeat DNA in a small sample of its frozen beef product line and recalled all beef products.  However, no Sodexo products and operations in the U.S. were impacted.  In fact, our raw and frozen ground beef products are sourced domestically, and rigorous United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines and inspection procedures do not allow for horsemeat to be imported or processed for human consumption.
