Number of people who have eaten horse meat unknown
It is unlikely the exact number of people in the UK who have unwittingly eaten
horse meat will ever be known, the chief executive of the Food Standards Agency
(FSA) has conceded.
Catherine Brown said that testing was the right way to address the issue, and
said the focus would be on areas of higher risk.

likely to be impossible to ascertain.
