According to the CBC [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation], researchers at Trent University sampled both the oven roasted chicken filets and the chicken strips that Subway uses on its sandwiches in Canada. After testing six small samples of the filets and three small samples of the strips, the researchers ran a DNA test.
The results showed that the filets contained just 53.6 percent chicken DNA. The strips were found to contain just 42.8 percent chicken DNA.
CBC reports that the rest of the DNA found in the chicken was soy — used either for either seasoning or filler.

Personally, horse tastes fabulous. Apart from dishonesty, I see no problem with horsemeat in product. A horsemeat burger I had in Italy is probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. They eat it all the time.
Sure, nobody wants dishonesty in ingredients lists, but my gammon steak already tells me that it's about 30-40% water, right on the label, you only have to read it. So long as it lists the correct animal on the list, who cares?
Apparently horses are in that category with cats and dog where people don't want to eat them because they're too cute? I've wondered that exact same thing before.
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
