Horse meat is sold in Italy, its premium priced and a luxury product
Australia once sold horse meat as steak to USA, all was good and everybody happy till some fool opened his mouth and the scam was up.

I'd guess that the horse meat in question wasn't coming from a one of the ranches serving countries that eat horse meat. It was probably more comparable to the sweepings from the slaughterhouse floor than to Kobe beef. There are many places along the supply chain to the glue factor or the slaughterhouse where there is scrap "meat" but I wouldn't want to eat it, especially if it is being marketed as 100% USDA beef.
