Company that will handle Joplin Blasters concessions involved in horsemeat scandal

The company that has been hired to handle concessions for Joplin's new minor league baseball team was involved in a horsemeat scandal last year in Great Britain when horse DNA was found was beef products being sent to schools:

Sodexo, which describes itself as “the UK’s largest event caterer and provider of corporate hospitality packages”, and provides the catering at the Royal Ascot race meeting, said it was withdrawing all frozen beef products from its UK catering operations with immediate effect, after horse DNA was found in three of them – beefburgers, minced beef, and halal minced beef.

Sodexo handled concessions for the Blasters organization when the team was in El Paso.

Sodexo is also the contracted catering company for Missouri Southern State University. It is the largest food services company in the world and is publicly traded in France, its home base, but not in the United States.
