The last couple of months Europe found out they were eating a lot of horse meat labeled as beef. Romania banned horse pulled vehicles, so a lot of animals went to slaughter. And there wasn't enough of a market, so they started selling it as beef in Europe. Burger King horse whoppers, Taco Bell horse tacos , Ikea Swedish horse meatballs, Findus Frozen horsemeat lasagna, etc.
