One hundred kilograms of horsemeat imported from Hungary and labelled as beef has been discovered in Lancashire, the Food Standards Agency has said.
Some 40kg has already been sold to the public through Hungarian Food Ltd's market stall in Preston and the Taste of Hungary shop in Liverpool.
The meat was sold in 1kg bags labelled "diced beef".
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has notified the European Commission and the Hungarian authorities.
The remaining unsold meat has been withdrawn from sale.
Lancashire County Council is investigating and the meat will be tested for the veterinary drug "bute".
The meat was imported by Hungarian Food Ltd of Preston.
Earlier this month, the FSA said preliminary tests had found six new beef products that may contain horse DNA.
The checks were conducted by local councils following the earlier recalls of supermarket and caterer meat products containing horsemeat.
They also found three beef products with pig DNA above a 1% threshold.
