LONDON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc's British supermarket arm, Asda, said on Thursday it had discovered horse DNA in its beef bolognese sauce and was withdrawing that product and three others from its stores.
"We have a preliminary test result that suggests the presence of horse DNA in our 500g Beef Bolognese sauce. As you'd expect, we have withdrawn this product from our shelves," Asda spokeswoman Jo Newbould said. Asda has about 550 shops across the UK.
And yet another reason to be disgusted by Walmart’s lack of
morale. I and many others would never voluntarily eat horses; they are
intelligent and sacred beings meant to be friends with humans, not be served as
their dinner.
When I was sent to a boarding school for three years
during junior high I spent lots of time daily with horses, they were like the
only family I had at that time and were so patient, gentle and intuitive with me
while I learned how to ride well. After a while I became very close to one
horse in particular named Constance who eventually gave birth to an adorable
little boy. Too soon after he was born our school’s horse care provider sold
him and I was devastated not just because I adored the lively foal, but because
I knew in my heart that he and his mother were not ready to forcibly say
goodbye to each other. The poor baby was crying and bucking when they took him
away from us. It's still a painful memory.
Walmart’s latest scandal is just
another reason for me to go back to being a pescetarian.
