[naviga:h3]Restaurant that served horse warned[/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has warned a Pittsburgh restaurant to not serve horse meat again.

The Cure Restaurant hosted a special dinner with Canadian chefs on May 8 that included horse tartare.

A USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service spokesperson says Cure chef and co-owner Justin Severino received a warning letter for illegally bringing horsemeat into the country. The warning letter carries no penalties, but means the restaurant could be criminally prosecuted if it serves horse again.

Severino says the meat came from a sustainable horse farm in Canada and isn’t part of the regular menu. The USDA says Congress has banned the inspection of horses for human consumption since fiscal year 2005.

PITTSBURGH — A Southwest Airlines jetliner scheduled to land at Pittsburgh International Airport diverted to a smaller airport because of an air show.

The flight from Orlando was scheduled to land around 4 p.m. Sunday. But airspace was closed because of Wings Over Pittsburgh. The flight landed at Allegheny County Airport instead.

Southwest says in order to avoid using the contingency fuel reserve, the captain declared an emergency to receive priority handling out of an abundance of caution.
