The 2013 horsemeat scandal was a food fraud crisis that began on 15 January 2013 when it was reported that a wide range of food products advertised in the European Union as containing beef were found to contain undeclared or improperly declared horse meat. The crisis escalated in February 2013 when some Findus products were found to contain up to 100% horsemeat instead of beef.
