There are a couple of dogs not barking here. First, Europe has a modern food supply chain, yet can't track the meat down to specifically which plants are using horse? And second no one has been arrested? I think the regulators are in on this.

Second, Taco Bell admits upfront their beef is not actually beef, because they label their products as "beefy", ie beef-ish,beef-like. Here, have a beefy burrito. What's in it? Well, its beefy. This is so when they get taken to court, they can honestly say they never specifically told you you were getting a beef burrito.

First, I don’t blame Taco Bell.
Second, I don’t eat at Taco Bell. It has one of the worst records of people getting ill after having eaten there, for years.........

Yes, that is a big, gaping hole in the story. Multinational companies like Birds Eye, Taco Bell, etc can't back-trace who exactly the supplier was for the meat used in a particular batch of product? It strains credibility.

You are right. After the mad cow incidents several years ago the theory is that meat can easily be traced back to the source so if there is another outbreak it can be contained right way. Seems it is just a theory...

Up here, they are Taco Bell/KFC. I always thought the taco meat tasted like it contained chicken giblets.
