Horse meat containing cancer causing drug 'may have entered food chain' says Labour All horses in the UK and Ireland are required to have a "passport" designed to prevent those containing potentially dangerous residues of veterinary drugs from entering the food chain. Labour claims that the issuing of horse passports in the UK is fragmented, with 75 approved issuing organisations in the UK and no national database to track the information after it was closed by Defra. A horse that has been treated with a veterinary drug such as bute is worthless, but with a fake passport showing no drug use it can be worth more than £300 for the meat trade. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) confirmed that EU inspectors had found chilled horse meat originating from the UK contaminated with bute on five occasions in the past year. A spokesman said: "Horses which have been treated with phenylbutazone or bute are not allowed to enter the food chain. "In 2012, the FSA identified five cases where horses returned non-compliant results. None of the meat had been placed for sale on the UK market. Where the meat had been exported to other countries, the relevant food safety authorities were informed. telegraph.co.uk
