Burger King Uses Horse Meat In Its Burgers - Tuthmosis - 02-03-2013

The funny part of this whole thing is that people are surprised. It's like a few years ago, when it came out that Taco Bell put sand in its "ground beef." And this is just the stuff that we hear about. Imagine how much shit we'll never know.

I'm sure they'll pretend to have not known anything about it, when they likely do stuff like this (and maybe worse) around the world, as matter of routine.

Burger King caught in horse meat scandal

Burger King admitted on Thursday that its burger supplier was using horse meat in ground beef.

The fast food giant is the latest company to be implicated in a horse meat scandal that has rocked the United Kingdom.

Burger King said that it had used meat by supplier Silvercrest, which was recently found to have horse meat contaminants in its ground beef, said CNN.

USA Today noted that the popular restaurant chain claims that none of the patties it tested had horse DNA.

It remains unclear whether the horse meat ever reached Burger King customers.

Most of the blame should be on the supplier, Silvercrest, Burger King is the most well known so the media are jumping on it, several other restaurants/grocers in the British Isles are facing the same problem.
Of course, I don't eat Burger King due to the fact that corporate do not do any sort of quality management for their franchises. Here in Vancouver, the franchise owner of several Burger Kings is a cheapo that does not follow health regulations. Had a friend who worked in one of the franchises and they undercooked the burgers and do not follow proper Health Rules.

Horse meat is sold in Italy, its premium priced and a luxury product

Australia once sold horse meat as steak to USA, all was good and everybody happy till some fool opened his mouth and the scam was up.

What's the problem? Horse meat is pretty good. It's a bit richer than cow, but it's usually best smoked or cured because horse muscles (ie meat) are more taught than cows tender equivalent.

I don't really care, but this doesn't seem believable. Why would Burger King do that? Surely horse meat is a lot more expensive than beef. It's a luxury product, as Raser mentioned. Who in his right mind would put it into a cheap hamburger?

You guys are very forgiving of this kind of deception. Do you really think that Burger King's supplier threw in a little horse meat as an added "luxury" bonus for its customer? Of course not. It's a filler, which suggests there's all kinds of other shit in there. Not to mention that it's probably not the finest cuts of horse.

When you buy a hamburger, it's a reasonable expectation--in the West at least--that it's going to be cow beef or, if its not, that they'll disclose that it's some other meat.

People want the $1 menu to stay the same, even with rising taxes, fuel prices, liability, insurance, ect. ect. Something's gotta give. It's common sense.

BTW, the McRib has over 70 ingredients.

We're deceived everyday as consumers. The lack of personal responsibility is what makes us mad. Be informed.

Just think though of the fallout if they'd been sneaking pork meat in those burgers. A lot of people may not be going this direction =

Horse meat is more expensive then Cow meat so it's not automatic to assume it was a filler. In the UK their Beef us trash and I would imagine corps like BK import quite a bit of beef over the domestic stuff so then it would make sense that UK horse is more economical then UK Beef. Let's not get it twisted Horse is a high end delicacy the West has been duped to think dirty pork and corn fed Beef as lux when it's no better then Bush meat.

@Tuth: well yes, now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if the horse parts were actually horse hooves (ain't that used for glue?) or entrails or something. But the article did seem to discuss meat.

I'd guess that the horse meat in question wasn't coming from a one of the ranches serving countries that eat horse meat. It was probably more comparable to the sweepings from the slaughterhouse floor than to Kobe beef. There are many places along the supply chain to the glue factor or the slaughterhouse where there is scrap "meat" but I wouldn't want to eat it, especially if it is being marketed as 100% USDA beef.

Part of the issue is that the slaughtering of horses is illegal in the United States, so I imagine it would be an issue to find that the meat was actually being served here. Sure, meat is meat, but at the same time it's the deception that's the problem. Today it's horse, but who knows what kind of animal meat is going to get slipped in next time? The "pink sludge" filler is one thing (you know they put some kind of extender in there, but it's usually some kind of grain filler), but you don't want them to start scooping up stray dogs and cats and throwing THEM in the mix...HA HA!

So, Burger King burgers are made of hot dogs?

It always amazes me that you can get a burger for $1. I mean that's just too cheap. Five guys is the way to go if you're on the east coast.

---

Burger King Uses Horse Meat In Its Burgers - Screwston - 02-03-2013

There's way to many hole in the wall burger places here for me to fuck with fast food. Five guys is to expensive for what you get and always crowded. Wait, this is the only fast food place I can think of that is always good.


Krystal Burger sucks too. I hope they got ran out of town already.
