I think the major issue is that it wasn't declared on the ingredients, of course, this is illegal regardless what your view is on eating horse meat.
What is strange to see is the time delay to remove said products in Sweden.
Whereas other countries have taken action much faster.
Not that there is anything wrong with horse meat.
@robban70226 I think the problem is that it is advertised as beef so it is false advertising. Like you though, I think horse meat is actually quite nice.
Who cares what kind of meat it is anyway? Same difference to me. I'm a vegetarian.
Congratulations on being a vegetarian..
Good job you don't need to have any anxieties about the food you eat compared to us horse munchers.
I'm pretty certain anything you eat would be labelled by the producers as genetically modified if it were. You can always trust producers implicitly when they are looking to increase their profits
Ah.. Who cares what kind of vegetables they are anyway.. Same difference to me. I'm a carnivore.
