Some of the frozen meals sold at the leading supermarkets in Great Britain and Europe contained 100% horsemeat even though they were labeled beef. The meat apparently came from a French supplier with origin most likely coming from Romania. The situation, one of many food scandals, has pushed the need for food traceability solutions available from companies such as Rurapp Inc.
The horsemeat scandal shows how corrupt, greedy, and arrogant Big Food has become. It can and will sell anything as food and get away with it. Without traceability solutions companies can label anything food and try to sell it to the public.
An even more scary part of the food fraud is that the hose meat contained veterinary drug so dangerous that it is illegal to give to humans.
The hosemeat was found in frozen hamburger, lasagna and other frozen meals and sold in major high street supermarkets. The meat was sold for months and tens of thousands of consumers would have eaten the beef labelled horse meat in front of dinner.
