Your Favorite Food (This Time, IKEA Meatballs) Is Probably Made of Horse Meat
LatestYou may think that you’d never eat horse meat, but the truth is that you love it and can’t get enough of it. “More horse meat,” your brain and tummy cry whenever you get hungry or just want a snack because, as it turns out, horse meat is in everything. Hamburgers? Horse meat! Ravioli? Horse meat. Water? Super thin, wet horse meat. Everything in this universe is made up of horse meat, from the stars in the sky to the grass in the fields to the mice who live in your walls. It’s the circle of horse meat and it rules us all.
All across Europe, foods are turning up with traces of horse meat in them, generally in meats that are attempting to pass as pork or beef. Burger King and Nestle have both had to recall and halt production on certain comestibles, but the problem is as widespread as the meat sections of local supermarkets. And the newest location to become infected? None other than the IKEA cafeteria, where the fürnitüre giant’s iconic Swedish meatballs have been discovered to contain an extra horse-y ingredient.
