Furniture retailer IKEA says it has halted sales of moose lasagne, after traces of pork were found in a batch of the product.

According to Reuters, sales of the lasagne, of which about 10,000 tonnes has been produced by a Swedish supplier for the company, were stopped at its stores across Europe.

It comes after tests by Belgian authorities revealed traces of pork late last month.

In February IKEA withdrew its trademark meatballs from sale after tests showed a batch contained horsemeat.

They have since been reintroduced to stores.
