horse meat in burgers
A thought has come to mind, if the store labels their product as 100% beef andthe dna comes back with horse included, does this not open up a can of worms, excuse the somewhat pun, to a whole lot of lawsuits. in my mind someone shouldbe liable or the company
regards, stan

Burger King has tonight admitted that it has been selling burgers and Whoppers containing horsemeat despite two weeks of denials.
The fast food chain, which has more than 500 UK outlets, had earlier given a series of ‘absolute assurances’ that its products were not involved.
However, new tests have revealed these guarantees were incorrect in a revelation that threatens to destroy the trust of customers.
It also raises serious questions about whether the food company, which sells around one million burgers a week in the UK, has any good idea about what goes into its products
The contaminated burgers were made by the Irish-based processing company, Silvercrest, which is part the ABP Foods Group.

Horse Meat In Burgers.
I suppose a few lawyers are sharpening their pencils awaiting the first compensation claims to pour in from the ****** prisoners.I thought Halal meat had to be processed by ****** butchers so who put the pork into the halal mince that went into the pies that were supplied to the prisons.
