Oslo, Norway, Mar 16:  Norway's food safety authority says it has found pork in kebab meat and pizza toppings labeled halal or beef-only.



Agency spokeswoman Ragnhild Arnesen says up to 30 percent pork was found in the products when the agency tested them last week for horse meat.

Arnesen said Friday that Kuraas AS, which had labeled its meat halal, or fit for consumption by Muslims, has recalled all the fast-food meat from supermarkets and restaurants.

Muslims are forbidden to eat pork under Islamic law.

Kuraas AS issued an apology on its website, saying it was working with the food authority to determine how the pork ended up in the meat products.

Meanwhile a British meat company also apologized after halal chicken sausages supplied to at least one school were found to contain pork.
