We are only at the beginning of our legal process. Comigel will end up in a lot of legal processes going forward, I imagine. Comigel is the villain.Findus Nordic CEO Jari Latvanen • Discussing, with CNN, his company’s frustration with Comigel, which it blames for the horsemeat that found its way into Findus products—most notably, its lasagna. Findus, a Swedish company, has been under intense pressure since the news broke that its “100% beef” products were a little less than 100 percent beef, but numerous other companies have been affected by the scandal, leading to recalls in numerous European countries, including the UK and France. Comigel, meanwhile, blames a sub-supplier for the incident. This could be a rough one going forward, as the scandal has only grown since initial reports last month. source

WASHINGTON — Congress has lifted a de facto ban on the slaughter of horses, a move hailed by Missouri farmers and state political leaders who say the prohibition had inadvertently caused more harm to the animals than good.
But some animal-rights activists decried the little-noticed provision, which sailed to passage earlier this month and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on Nov. 18. And they vowed to keep the issue alive, pressing for an outright prohibition of horse slaughtering in the U.S.
Um. Guys? Say nay to the horse steaks. Thanks.
