Okay, so you may be thinking to yourself, “But I don’t eat horse meat so what do I care if twice in the last 30 days, horse meat produced in Canada has been recalled due to being tainted with dangerous drugs, drugs that horses are routinely treated with that are not meant to enter the human food chain?”.
I hear you, and before I go any further you may want to keep in mind that in the summer of 2015, FOUR major news outlets in Canada reported that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) was NOT surprised that horse meat was ending up in Canadian supermarkets, but not marked as horse meat.
Oh and these types of recalls of drug tainted, toxic to humans horse meat have been going on for years.
AND
January 14th, 2020
Health Canada reports:
Viande Richelieu brand horse meat recalled due to presence of clenbuterol.
While some of the affected product may have been exported to other countries, this recall is for horse meat distributed in Quebec.
Clenbuterol is often used to treat horses with conditions such as Inflammatory Airway Disease and heaves. The administration of this drug is prohibited from use in animals that produce food or are intended for consumption as food.
This is yet another example of how the honor system when it comes to presenting horses to be slaughtered for human consumption is not working.
These kinds of recalls have been going on for years.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including Japan.
The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.
In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan, to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
