It's not specifically illegal, but it is considered taboo in US culture to eat horse meat. It should also be noted that most horse meat in the US is contaminated from toxic chemicals that are given to horses to keep them healthy, these chemicals never leave the horses system and stay in the meat, sometimes even after cooking. These chemicals can kill a human. Another thing to remember is that it is illegal to use horse meat that has not been inspected and funding for inspections was halted several years ago which means that the vast majority of any horse meat sold in the US is sold illegally.

Burger King itself did not mix the horse meat in with the beef, that occurred at the processing facility and Burger King has since stopped receiving meat products from that processor.
Nearly 75 percent of U.S. overseas horse meat sales went to France, Belgium, and the Netherlands
