Only Swedish meat at Hemköp

Only Swedish meat at Hemköp Hemköp has been selling only Swedish meat since 1993. Thus no Danish beef is sold at any of Hemköp's stores. In view of this, Hemköp does not need to take any safety precautions as a result of the newly discovered case of BSE ("mad-cow disease") in Denmark.
