GREAT NEWS FROM OUR EU CAMPAIGN against horse meat imports from Canada and South America! Système U, a French retailer cooperative with about eight hundred independent markets and grocery stores, announced publicly that it will no longer buy horse meat imported from Canada or South America.
The retailer, which holds a 11.6% share of the French grocery market, which makes it the fourth biggest player in the sector, made this decision after our French partner organization Welfarm released our latest Bouvry Exports investigation. The release was featured in many French media outlets and created tremendous public outcry. This will definitely be another blow to the Canadian horse slaughter industry!
