Horse Meat at Taco Bell

An article from the Chicago Tribune recently found horse meat in the ground beef at several Taco Bell outlets in the UK. The issue has fortunately been isolated to three chains where the testing of the beef had been overlooked. In result of current reports of horse meat, many fast food outlets have begun to tighten their food safety regulations as KFC discontinued using more than 1,000 slaughterhouses in fear of contamination of their chicken products.In Europe, the horse meat had spread to Ireland according to recent tests on their beef. As the horse meat was discovered in the meantime when it reached the public, the catering companies and fast food outlets are not certain if the meat was served to consumers.
