Chief medical officer Prof Dame Sally Davies said an individual would have to consume vast quantities of horsemeat containing bute to be at risk.
She said: "A person would have to eat 500-600, 100% horsemeat burgers a day to get close to consuming a human's daily dose. [The drug] passes through the system fairly quickly, so it is unlikely to build up in our bodies."

I don't see bute as a problem and I think other intensively farmed animals are treated with antibiotics/steroids anyway and I don't worry about that. I'd eat it  if I liked the taste regardless of price. I read somewhere that the only reason horse isn't already farmed is because of lower yields than beef and the emotional connection people have.
