This lab in Berlin, and others around Germany, are also testing meat for phenylbutazone or bute, a pain medication given to horses and found in some samples tested in other EU countries.
Technician Andreas Hlinak says it is too soon to know how much horse meat exists in beef sold in Germany.
"We've received samples, including samples from veterinary agencies, and have begun our tests. We expect to have the results ready on the samples we received this week by the middle of next week," Hlinak said.
Hlinak says his lab employees are going into local supermarkets themselves to obtain samples.
Some food safety experts are blaming supermarkets for pushing down prices and squeezing wholesalers. Others think lax inspections are to blame. As for the supermarkets - they say they have been tricked too, and promise tougher inspections of their own going forward.
