( CNN ) -- Nestle is suspending deliveries of all its products that include beef from a German supplier because `` traces of horse DNA '' were found in the meat , the Swiss-based food giant said on its website Monday . Nestle also is recalling two chilled pasta products , Buitoni Beef Ravioli and Beef Tortellini , from store shelves in Italy and Spain , the news release said . A lasagna product sold to French catering businesses will also be recalled . `` Our tests have found traces of horse DNA in two products made from beef supplied by H.J . Schypke , '' the statement said . `` The levels found are above the one percent threshold the UK 's Food Safety Agency uses to indicate likely adulteration or gross negligence . '' The company said there are no food safety issues and it had notified the authorities . H.J . Schypke is a subcontractor of JBS Toledo N.V. , a Belgian supplier . Opinion : Scandal shines spotlight on murky horse trade . Unauthorized horse meat has been discovered in a variety of products labeled as beef that were sold in supermarkets in countries including Britain , France , Sweden , Switzerland , Germany and Ireland . Also on Monday , the French government lifted a suspension tied to the production of minced meat , sausages and ready-made meals at Spanghero . The French firm will still not be allowed to stock frozen raw meat . Spanghero should have known that the meat it labeled as beef was actually horse , French Consumer Affairs Minister Benoit Hamon has said . Spanghero was the first company to label the meat as beef , the minister said , adding that 750 tons of horse meat were involved over a period of at least six months . Spanghero should have identified the meat as horse from its Romanian customs code , as well as its appearance , smell and price , he said . Horse meat concerns date to February 2012 , officials say . A Spanghero representative has told CNN the company had acted in good faith . `` The company has never ordered horse meat , and we never knowingly sold horse meat , '' the representative said . The affair has been passed to the Paris prosecutor to be investigated as fraud , Hamon said . The offense is punishable by up to two years in prison and fines of up to â‚¬187,500 ( about $ 250,000 ) for the companies involved . Meanwhile , UK Environment Secretary Owen Paterson met with representatives of food businesses to talk about the response to the horse meat scandal . `` I welcome the food businesses ' commitment to testing their products . They all assured me that they will not rest until they have established the full picture . There is still much to be done to find out exactly how this happened and how it can be prevented from happening again , and to do everything possible to reassure consumers about the food on our shelves , '' he said in a statement after the meeting . Paterson said the representatives `` agreed to do their level best to report back as many testing results as possible '' to the Food Standards Agency by Friday . Separately , the agency told CNN that it has no information to suggest donkey meat is in the food chain . The meat industry was first thrust into the spotlight last month when Irish investigators found horse and pig DNA in hamburger products . The discovery of pig DNA in beef products is of particular concern to Jews and Muslims , whose dietary laws forbid the consumption of pork products . Jewish dietary laws also ban the consumption of horse meat . First UK test reveals scope of horse meat contamination . CNN 's Nic Robertson contributed to this report .
