Military quietly phasing out horse meat MREs

CINCINNATI, OH – Following a series of tightening regulations by the Department of Defense, the military's leading food producer has quietly put out a notice recalling its Meals Ready-to-Eat made exclusively from horse meat.

According to Wornick Foods, it will no longer produce the Hamburger Horse Meat MRE, unofficially referred to by troops in the field as "The Seabiscuit Special," thanks to new Department of Defense guidelines that all MRE's must reflect cultural norms.

Wornick will also be removing the popular Spicy Mexican Horse Meat, as well as the Cheese and Horse Meat Omelet MRE's from circulation later this month.
