Following on from the lidl/ tesco story : In the uk specifically do you need a liscense to process horse meat in a factory?
I presume they are slaughtered elsewhere and the transported to the food processing factory?
Can you send horses to slaughter in a 'normal' beef abattoir?
As on the other thread, the feed given to livestock (cows sheep etc) intended for human consumption is heavily regulated -are there any regulations regarding horse meat intended for human meat?
Is it legal to send a horse for meat in this country?
Sorry for all the possible unsavoury questions, I'm just interested - my dad was asking me questions about it too and I couldn't answer them...so my interest was piqued.
Fwiw I would never choose to eat horse meat, but if properly regulated and welfare controlled I would not be against others choosing to eat it - I believe it's a lean healthy cheap meat - if so many people in this country are suffering food poverty /malnutrition I'd imagine it might be a viable option in the future?
Again not intending to upset or offend anyone- just got me thinking...
