People around me stopped buying Findus not because of the scandal, but because they just didn’t taste as good once they changed their recipe.
I can’t say if it was the horsemeat, but the ready meals tasted better before. I don’t know how to word this without sounding awkward.
Nobody in the supply chain was being overly cautious about what their suppliers were providing them. Resulting in horse meat being found in loads of places.
So? It’s all wrong. Horses, much like cows and pigs, are capable of feeling love and pain. They are sentient. What difference does it make if it’s horse flesh or cow flesh?

“It was tastier when it was horse”?
That’s the general consensus around my friend circles, over the years. It did spawn the short lived joke, “I’m so hungry I could eat a Findus” though.
Didn’t Ikea also have one a while back?
Iirc, It was a national problem. Not just Tesco.

It’s more a false advertising thing than a moral thing.
Turns out it was a European problem.

Back when it happened, I didn’t really follow the news properly and thought it was only a German thing.
