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


barely can afford (a 99 cent happy meal).


Such is life when you're going down the toilet...

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


February 1, 2013 10:55 AM


http://tampa.cbslocal.com/2013/02/01...-test-its-beef...


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?)


I feel sure it is incorporated into American beefburgers.


I'm sure would like to feel it.

Americans are like mushrooms.
Kept in the dark and fed on ****.


You're just jealous.
