Inspectors have found horsemeat in meatballs produced in Sweden for Ikea, the world's biggest furniture retailer.
The Czech Republic's state veterinary administration - which made the discovery - said the 1kg packs of frozen meatballs were labelled as beef and pork.
A total of 760kg of the meatballs were stopped from reaching shelves within the country.
A spokesman for the institute said he did not know whether the meatballs were distributed in other European countries.
The checks were carried out in response to a European-wide scandal that erupted last month when tests carried out in Ireland revealed some beef products also contained horsemeat.
Traces of horsemeat were found in meals sold by several British retailers.
The European Union's agriculture ministers gathered in Brussels Monday to discuss the widening scandal's fallout, with some member states pressing for tougher rules to regain consumer confidence.
The 27-nation bloc must agree on binding origin disclosures for food product ingredients, starting with a better labelling of meat products, German agriculture minister Ilse Aigner said.
"Consumers have every right to the greatest-possible transparency," she said.
