Artificial calimari (made from pig bung) or hamburgers made from horse

meat.



But this is what it takes to give the average american something he

Burger King To DNA Test Its Beef After Food Processor Used Horse Meat

MIAMI, Fla. (CBS Tampa) – Burger King will reportedly test its meat to

make sure it is 100 percent beef after horse DNA was found in beef

products from one of its food processors.



Diego Beamonte, Burger King’s vice president of global quality, told

Bloomberg Businessweek that “details for DNA testing have not been

worked out, and no timeline has been set for implementing the new

procedures.”



Burger King addressed this topic after it was disclosed that Silvercrest

Foods sold beef products containing horse meat to other retailers.



According to the company’s statement to PR Newsire, Burger King says it

will test specifically for equine DNA.



Burger King told Businessweek that it dropped dealings with Silvercrest

after learning that meat supplied by the distribution company contained

horse meat. Burger King went on to say that product from Silvercrest was

never sold in their stores.



“We will dedicate ourselves to determining what lessons can be learned

and what additional measures, including DNA testing and enhanced

traceability controls, can be taken to ensure that we continue to

provide you with the quality products you expect from us,” Burger King

stated in a press release to Newswire.



Burger King says they are committed to using suppliers that only produce

100 percent beef products.



(does that include cow anus?)

You mean the horses jerk off in the burger king? I thought they only did that at McDonuts?
