    I have heard (i know, i know) that race horses must never enter the food chain due to the range of antibiotics etc they take over the course of their lives. For a horse to enter thr food chain it must never have been a race horse and there must be paperwork to go with said horse.
    Is this true and will we ever see the paperwork for all the horses that entered our food chain?

    Race horses are vaccinated with drugs that are harmful to human's hence why we cannot eat their meat. Every horse, like every cat and dog has a vaccination card. To be fit for meat sale, the card must be produced up to date and without particular drugs on it. Only then it is considered for the meat factory.

    meat wasn't being dna tested

    but would these drugs associated with horses show up on regular tests?

    mayhem>manhunt>mastermind

    i doubt there's any one person responsible

    the FSA's really slipped up here -90,000 tests annually in the uk alone and they didn't spot this with a dna test
