⚫ | Horse meat may be eaten without the knowledge of the consumer, due to accidental or [[fraud]]ulent introduction of horse meat into human food. A 2003 [[Food Standards Agency]] investigation revealed that certain sausages, salami, and similar products such as [[chorizo]] and [[pastrami]] sometimes contained horse meat without it being listed,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/2963554.stm |title=Horse meat found in salami |work=BBC News |date=June 4, 2003 |archive-date=January 28, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100128115440/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/2963554.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> although listing is legally required.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.food.gov.uk/foodlabelling/ull/ |title=[ARCHIVED CONTENT] Food Standards Agency - Labelling rules |publisher=webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk |access-date=February 15, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080720141827/http://www.food.gov.uk/foodlabelling/ull/ |archive-date=July 20, 2008 }}</ref> The [[2013 horse meat scandal]] involved multiple products being recalled from shelves due to unlabelled horse meat in amounts up to 100% of the meat content.<ref name=bbcconf>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21375594 |title=Findus beef lasagne contained up to 100% horsemeat, FSA says |date=February 7, 2013 |access-date=February 7, 2013 |work=BBC News |archive-date=February 7, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130207194258/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21375594 |url-status=live }}</ref> |

⚫ | Horse meat was featured in a segment of a 2007 episode of the [[Gordon Ramsay]] series ''[[The F Word (British TV series)|The F Word]]''. In the segment, [[Janet Street-Porter]] convinced locals to try horse meat, though not before facing controversy and being forced to move her stand to a privately owned location. The meat was presented as having a similar taste to beef, but with less fat, a high concentration of [[omega-3 fatty acid]]s, and as a safer alternative in times of worry regarding [[Avian influenza|bird flu]] and [[Bovine spongiform encephalopathy|mad cow disease]]. The segment was met with skepticism from many viewers after broadcast for various reasons, either because some felt the practice was cruel and against social norms, or simply a belief that if the taste was really on par with other meats, then people would already be eating it.<ref name="thefword">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1550742/We-should-eat-horse-meat-says-Ramsay.html|title=We should eat horse meat, says Ramsay|first=David|last=Harrison|date=May 6, 2007|access-date=July 24, 2016|publisher=[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]]|archive-date=September 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160920091319/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1550742/We-should-eat-horse-meat-says-Ramsay.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A company called Cowley's Fine Foods has also launched a horse jerky range called My Brittle Pony.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/is-horse-meat-legal-in-the-us_n_2966499|title = WATCH: HuffPost Tries Horse Meat and (Kind Of) Likes It|date = April 2013}}</ref> |
