“The permissive allowance of such horsemeat used for human consumption poses a serious public health risk”, said Drs Nicholas Dodman, Ann Marini and Nicolas Blondeau, who have authored a research paper. The authors followed 18 race horses who received bute and were then sent to slaughterhouse.

The study also said that some 67 million pounds of American horsemeat was sent overseas for human consumption last year.

The details of the paper are available in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.
