Clarification

ARISING from a recent article, The Irish Field is happy to clarify that there are two companies currently licensed in Ireland to process horsemeat for human consumption. These two EU-approved plants are Emerald Isle Foods (formerly B & F Meats Ltd), Co Kilkenny, which holds an equine and bovine licence, and Shannonside Foods, Straffan Horse Abattoir, Co Kildare, which holds an equine licence.
