Nothing wrong with horse meat as a food source - the problem is these get rich con men dont want you to have a choice.

I don't see how the FSAI can say, no risk to the public. You do have to ask how it got into the burger if they don't slaughter horses for human consumption in Ireland or Yorkshire where is the meat from? All our meat is supposed to be traceable to source (unlike on the continent).

it turns out that the meat is from Spain and the Netherlands and is only processed in the UK and Ireland.Two of the meat processing plants concerned are owned by a chap known as "Dirty Larry" in Ireland after previous scandals.
