100% in some products! I bet this has been going on for donkey's years. Bulk price is a 'pony' per tonne...
yup, they've only tested for horse. what other things could be lurking in there, rat? ewwww. also, i'm presuming that animals farmed for meat are not given certain drugs but the horses could come from anywhere and contain anything :/ self-regulation in the food industry ? yeah, that works!
Exactly right, horse meat is actually very nice but certain drugs given to horses are carcinogenic to humans!
i am assuming that in countries where it's regularly eaten that it's regulated and not one that fell at beechers brook It does concern me the Marmitee they allow in food anyway but this is really worrying. not for me, I'm a veggie, but a lot of these products will be bought because they're cheap and the only way they can feed their family.
I'm sure I may be wrong but I'm sure the French wouldn't allow carcinogens into their food chain. The Irish slaughter houses involved only dealt with horse meat for France? Beef, horse, it's all the same really.
ahh, i didn't realise they were supplying horse for france too - i thought that as 'criminal activity' is suspected that it meant any old dead stuff.
as a Sat job as a kid i got a start in a butchers making the sausages .nuff said ,my mate has a job making that big lump of meat u see in the keebab shop on the pole that they cut the "meat" off, my mate does not speak off said job, eddie, never ever eats keebabs. Suppose reading "fast food nation" sums it up,and thats an old book.Some things on a day to day basis are better not knowing(imo)
I may be wrong but early reports were that the horse Market in France was involved. Working abroad a lot I gave up caring what I ate (generally) years ago!
my mate used to repair railway lines but would never travel on trains, when i asked him why he said "for the same reason a butcher doesn't eat sausages". That was a while ago now, i assume H&S is a little better...?
^^^ they both sound like "cock n bull" stories to me. Ps. I've never worked in a butcher butI've managed some fairly major rail upgrades ...
That's not the point though is it? If I bought some lamb, I wouldn't expect it to be beef. Not everyone's happy to eat stuff loosely described as meat and take pot-luck as to what it might be.
