Winning back trust that was damaged during the horsemeat scandal saw many supermarkets commit to buying more British meat. Tesco – whose own brand burgers were found to contain 29% horsemeat – promised to tighten up their supply chain, source British meat and be more transparent about the supply of their products.
It found horse DNA in over one-third of the beefburger samples, and pig in 85 per cent of them. The majority of beef ready meals also contained pig DNA but not horse. One sample from Tesco turned out to be 29 per cent horse instead of beef.
Of the 37% of beef products tested positive for horse DNA, Tesco's Everyday Value Beef Burgers tested at 29.1%. All other reported brands had less than 0.3% horse DNA. These products originated from Liffey Meats and Silvercrest Foods in Ireland and Dalepak Hambleton food processing plant in the United Kingdom.

Horses became a taboo meat in the ancient Middle East, possibly because they were associated with companionship, royalty, and war.

Today, Keystone's US operations are proud to produce and deliver the highest quality beef, chicken and fish products to McDonald's, including more than 150 million pounds of beef, 300 million pounds of chicken and 15 million pounds of fish each year.
A damning report from the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) back in 2016, has seen Tesco, Britain's biggest supermarket chain, pay the price for poor supplier rebate management, after delaying supplier payments and failing to raise accurate invoices.
But fierce competition, a series of over-ambitious acquisitions and, of course, its devastating accounting scandal knocked one of Britain's most successful business off its perch. It's still the largest retailer in the UK but Tesco's reputation took a massive knock, arguably even bigger than the one to its finances.

In the 1920s, according to Nestle, slaughterhouses opened pet food companies to dispose of horse meat. It remained a major ingredient in pet food until at least the 1940s. Today, Nestle said, most pet food companies do not profess to use horse meat, partially for fear it would discourage people from buying the product.
