IKEA Singapore has resumed sale of their meatballs, 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 had gone on on sale at 9.30am earlier today at the Swedish Food Market and 10.30am at the restaurant; 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 was selling them at its IKEA Restaurant at both Alexendra and Tampines stores at $0.10 apiece.
