        @42katiesmith @BBCBreaking @_NVWA I think it's our cultural attachment to horses that cause the discomfort, not any medical issue.

        @sjhs_MrMcKim We don't know the origin of this meat. Therefore it's not suitable for human consumption or feed (General Food Law)

        @BBCBreaking @_NVWA Not much point in the recall as most of it has already been consumed. Compensation time me thinks!

        @BBCBreaking where does all the meat go? Seems a waste? I am sure people in starving countries are not so fussy about labelling issues?
