    "body": "<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Brussels, 27 September 2026 &ndash;</strong> <em>On the occasion of World Animal Day, celebrated on 4 October, GAIA is publishing a new report on horse meat and calling for a clear break with current practice: equines should be recognised as companion animals and permanently removed from the food chain. This demand is backed by a new investigation into friteries across Belgium, as well as repeated cases of fraud and documented suffering during transport and slaughter.</em></p><h4 id=\"horse-dna-in-snacks-from-3-in-4-friteries\" style=\"text-align: left\">Horse DNA in snacks from 3 in 4 friteries</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">Last August, GAIA had 123 commonly sold snacks &ndash; meatballs, hamburgers, croquettes, frikandels and others &ndash; purchased from 25 friteries across Belgium&rsquo;s three Regions analysed by an accredited laboratory. In 76% of the friteries, at least one product contained horse DNA. Overall, 27% of the snacks tested positive. Positive results were found across the country: in 80% of the friteries tested in Brussels, 70% in Wallonia and 80% in Flanders.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">These results are also corroborated by information and ingredient lists published on the websites of producers and retailers, where horse meat is listed as an ingredient on numerous occasions.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">These products were not presented as containing horse meat. For non-prepacked foods, the law generally does not require the animal species used to be specified. Consumers can therefore eat horse meat without knowing it.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/7d91e25e-599b-4ee4-a451-0a568e37d09b/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"Screenshot of a product page on be.vangeloven.com\"\n                id=\"image-7d91e25e-599b-4ee4-a451-0a568e37d09b\"\n                data-id=\"7d91e25e-599b-4ee4-a451-0a568e37d09b\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/7d91e25e-599b-4ee4-a451-0a568e37d09b/-/inline/no/Boulettes+ap%C3%A9ro+viande+de+cheval.png\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/7d91e25e-599b-4ee4-a451-0a568e37d09b/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Screenshot of a product page on be.vangeloven.com\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\">Screenshot of a product page on be.vangeloven.com</figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<h4 id=\"1662-equines-still-slaughtered-in-belgium\" style=\"text-align: left\">1,662 equines still slaughtered in Belgium</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">Belgium is estimated to have around 400,000 equines, mainly kept for leisure, sport and companionship. Yet 1,662 equines were still slaughtered in Belgian slaughterhouses in 2025, representing just 0.4% of Belgium&rsquo;s equine population.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Banning their slaughter in Belgium would not be enough, however: in 2025, the country still imported a volume of horse meat equivalent to 38,500 equines (12,268 tonnes of horse meat). For GAIA, simply shifting the problem abroad is not an option: the sale of equine meat must also be banned.</p><h4 id=\"falsified-passports-double-microchips-scandals-keep-emerging\" style=\"text-align: left\">Falsified passports, double microchips: scandals keep emerging</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">The sector is regularly confronted with serious traceability problems. During inspections carried out by the AFSCA (responsible for controlling the food chain) between December 2020 and June 2021, 35 of the 230 horse passports examined were found to have been falsified &ndash; more than one in seven.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">And the problem persists. In September 2026, a new international investigation involving the Federal Judicial Police, the AFSCA and Europol focused on the suspected reintroduction into the food chain of horses that had previously been excluded from it, including sport horses. Suspected practices included passport falsification and the use of double microchips.</p><h4 id=\"horses-must-be-taken-out-of-the-food-chain\" style=\"text-align: left\">Horses must be taken out of the food chain</h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">On the occasion of World Animal Day, GAIA is calling for equines to be recognised as companion animals and, as a matter of principle, excluded from the food chain. The organisation is calling on the competent ministers to ban their slaughter for human consumption in all three Regions and their export for that purpose, as well as the sale of equine meat in Belgium, regardless of its origin, including in processed products.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Such a change would not be unprecedented in Europe. Since 2021, Greece has prohibited, among other things, the breeding, export and use of equines for meat production. For GAIA, Belgium can now make the same choice and remove equines from the food chain.</p><blockquote><em>&ldquo;We have already made horses companions in our life. It is time for the law to reflect that reality. No more horses sent to slaughterhouses, no more horse meat in our shops or on our plates.&rdquo;</em> says Michel Vandenbosch, president of GAIA.</blockquote><h4 id=\"images-content\" >Images &amp;
