I haven't been to a burger joint in 10 years. Never eat food prepared by teenage boys.
Disturbing: Burger King Admits Burgers Contain Horsemeat
January 31st, 2013 | Updated 01/31/2013 at 9:26 pm
In a piece of highly disturbing news, Burger King has now admitted after continuous denial that it has actually been selling UK customers both burgers and Whoppers that contain horsemeat. This admission comes just after The Guardian reports that Burger King reps offered a round of absolute assurances to customers that it did not ever use horsemeat in its products.
A series of tests done on the burger products now reveal that Burger King has been issuing completely phony statements, with burgers made for the fast food chain from the Irish company Silvercrest containing measurable levels of horsemeat. Its important to note this is the same company that processes meat for Tesco, Asda, and the Co-op. The managers at Silvercrest have been revealed to be utilizing non-approved ingredients within their burger assortment even for household brands.
Burger King admitted just a few hours ago that the samples did in fact contain horsemeat:
Four samples recently taken from the Silvercrest plant have shown the presence of very small trace levels of equine DNA we have established that Silvercrest used a small percentage of beef imported from a non-approved supplier in Poland. This is a clear violation of our specifications, and we have terminated our relationship with them.
