| 1327478 | 2013-02-11 19:19:00 | Yes, but I grew up eating beef and lamp. Horses are for glue. Would you be the same if they had put or or monkey in it (its all meat) And its the fact that they labelled it as beef that to me is criminal. Beef lasagne or Horse lasagne Beef burgers or horse burgers. |

| 1327481 | 2013-02-11 19:31:00 | I doubt a single English butcher has seen the meat. It will be shipped in from overseas and straight to the processing plant to be cooked up into what ever they are making that day. It's not just in England either it has affected several European countries | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1327483 | 2013-02-11 19:40:00 | I don't mind eating horse, but mislabelling is a major, major issue. Given the British experience with nvCJD/mad cow disease, consumer fears over labelling are very high. GMO, etc is all a much bigger issue in the UK than almost anywhere else. If you can't trust that your beef lasagne is actually beef, in a country with strong labelling laws, what else can't you trust? I bet my mum (who lives in the UK) is fretting herself into a state. | Zara Baxter (16260) | ||

Spoke to my parents last night and they were amazingly unconcerned about it all. I'm not allowed to give blood here due to being in England in the 90's as they say the CJD risk is too high |
