That's worrying as NSAIDs can be dangerous for people with some medical conditions. The are the same group as common pain killers making it possible to accidentally exceed the safe dose.
According to the BBC though -
It was then further tested and found to contain four parts per billion of bute
I'd imagine they would have to eat quite a substantial amount of corned beef to even ingest a theraputic amount, let alone exceed the safe dose.
Some people have so many bills they have to buy cheap crap. I hate the oh go to m&S and Waitrose brigade! it's so hard for a lot of people to pay their rent/mortgage and heat themselves and then feed their families.
As for butchers I bought six dinners out of the butchers, well not exactly dinners only one had veg and sauce the chicken stirfry, all the rest were just meat, mince/sausages and nothing expensive or huge in quantity and it cost me 35 euro, I thought the chap had made a mistake I was gutted!
To eat in the butchers in Ireland anyway is so dear and twice I have bought stuff that the butchers should have thrown out but sold to me as they knew I wasn't a regular, in two different places too, pudding that smelled like weird vinegar and sausages that had a lovely just going off taste .
Butchers are not to be trusted! maybe we should all become vegans.
You go to the wrong butchers. The ones i go to are fantastic and sometimes buying a decent bit of meat from a butchers is better value than buying it from a supermarket.
that is if you can afford to buy the meat in the first place.
Again we have people saying 'cheap rubbish, what do you expect'.
So I'd like to know what price something has to be before it is no longer 'cheap rubbish'. Is there an official reference?
What is the proper approved price for a tin of corned beef? At what point does it become OK for something labelled as 'beef' to have other undeclared ingredients thrown in?
In cheap prepared meats we expect a certain level of fat, gristle, breadcrumbs etc as part of the 'cheapness' deal. We do not on the other hand expect 'beef' to be 'horse'. Likewise 'pork' vs 'cat', 'lamb' vs 'dog' etc.
And how do we do the price comparison? How to go from 'pieces of beef at the butcher' to 'tin of corned beef on the shelf'?
What's the conversion rate for 'mince from butcher' to 'microwave bolognese' and what's the official approved price for one of those that would grant it the status of not being 'cheap rubbish'?
It's vile in the manner a lot of people eat it (as a "real meat" substitute in things like sandwiches, or just dumped on a plate like it was ham slices).
It's delicious in the right hands in things like scouse, as you say.

If you're going to use beef like that you want pastrami, too much fat on corned beef for sandwiches.

4 parts per billion does not sound like much, but the acceptable limit has been defined for a reason. If you take a Neurophen that will result in a very low concentration in your body. At a rough estimate, a 100g Neurophen would give an adult a dose of about 1 in 750,000 if absorbed totally. In reality only somewhere between half and 1/10 is absorbed through the gut, giving a dose between 1.5 million and 7.5 million. This is still 1,000 times lower than the safe figure for Bute (4 parts per billion), until you allow for the fact that people each pieces of meat much larger than headache pills. About 1,000 times larger.
Anything that risks interfering with clotting could have a serious affect on a hospital patient already being given Warfarin or who has had a stroke.
I always thought these products come from the same source then Supermarkets put there on branded labels onto the tins.
That's what some supermarkets would like you to believe. Others go to great lengths to keep their supply chain exclusive. Waitrose for example uses a supplier they ban from dealing with any other supermarket. And big name brands like Kellog and Heinz are clear that they do not sell under other labels.
Even if I was poor, I wouldn't buy this. Id rather eat my own shit. Theres poor, and then theres ASDA price poor.
Oh dear me. I moved to a country where I think that every meat I buy seems about Asda Value Price (or whatever its called) quality. They also love Spam here.

I think some people forget about that, just because they can afford to spend a hundred quid or so a week on food, it don't mean everyone can.

Exactly.

corned beef hash/manc scouse is quite nice.

One of the worse things in the UK is that we haven't embraced pastrami.
I tried on Rye..Yuck!
a family cannot afford, to spend more on food, cost of living now is high. and do not have the extra pennies..

It's not just that it's horse meat. Beef, pork or lamb would have been rejected as unfit for human consumption under the same circumstances.
