A horse donated to a club was illegally slaughtered and sold as beef, detected by a microchip in a meal, leading to a fine for its owner.
A microchip found in a meal at a Mersin soup kitchen led to the discovery that the food contained meat from Smart Latch, a retired racehorse owned by businessman Suat Topçu.
The horse, injured in October 2026, was reportedly donated to a riding club but was not officially transferred, violating regulations.
Authorities fined Topçu 132,108 Turkish liras ($4,300) and confirmed the meat originated from the same horse via lab tests.
The incident, reported by a diner, has raised concerns over animal tracking and food safety, with investigators suspecting the horse was diverted, slaughtered, and sold as beef.
