HORSEFLESH
USED IN SAUSAGES OFFICIAL HAS NO OBJECTION (From a Correspondent) MELBOURNE, November 16. Dr. H. N. Featonby, chairman of the Health Commission, stated at a meeting of the Public Health Commission today that in a sausage room of one of the butchers’ shops about 250 lbs of horse meat had been found.
Dr. Featonby added that the horses were killed at two slaughter yards, but he did not think that much horseflesh was sold. If horseflesh were found in a butcher’s shop the owners could say that it was for dogs’ meat, but the new Public Health Act would not permit even tinned horse meat to be sold in a butcher’s shop. However, he added that he did not think that there was anything detrimental in horseflesh.
