The Belgium's Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain, FASFC, has been investigating a meat supply company Veviba and withdrawn approval of a meat cutting plant and a cold store run by the company, which supplies mincemeat and oxtail to Belgian retailers. In addition, it has announced that Hong Kong, Ivory Coast and Kosovo had been recipients until the end of 2016 of meat distributed by Veviba, including products that had the dates they were frozen on changed. Belgian Agriculture Minister Denis Ducarme accused Veviba of using "mafia practices" when it came to distributing meat. The report by FASFC has advised consumers not to eat raw mincemeat from the affected retailers, and also that the three nations affected, had been notified of the problem.
