Sveriges Radio's P4 had the beef content of 19 different types of falukorv (faluk sausage) tested. The test was conducted after SVT revealed in May that Vaggeryds chark had removed all beef from its sausage.
Analyses showed that six of the 19 falukorv sausages contained 5 percent or less beef.
"Somewhere there must be a limit to calling the product "contains nut" if it is so negligible that it can barely be measured," says Christine Fransholm at Swedish Consumers to P4 Jönköping.
Jan Scherman, a member of the Korvakademin association, reacts strongly:
"I think it's a sad and extremely bad scam," he says.
Two of the companies whose sausages were tested claim that their products contain more beef than the test showed.
