    Burger Kings Confirms The Rumors And Admits That They Are Using Horse Meat In The Burgers


    br-600x337.jpg

    Fast food chain Burger King admitted they`ve been using meat from horses for their burgers.They`ve been accused of the same from many years, but Burger King has always denied these accusations as rumors.

    But last Thursday, they came out with an announcement admitting that the tests were wrong, apologizing to their customers.The company producing meat for BK was called Silvercrest. They also delivered meat for Asda, Co-op and Tesco. The ingredients in the meat they were supplying have been forbidden since last year.As announced by Burger King on this subject:

    “We discovered that Silvercrest is using small percent of beef originating from non-approved Polish suppliers, who promised to supply them with 100% British and Irish beef cutlets.They did not fulfill their promise.

    All of this is completely against our rules and regulations, so we decided to end up the partnership with this supplier.As we`ve confirmed, this Polish supplier is the source of the contaminated meat that came from Silvercrest.”

    Burger King said: "Our independent DNA test results on product taken from restaurants were negative for any equine DNA. However, four samples recently taken from the Silvercrest plant have shown the presence of very small trace levels of equine DNA. Within the last 36 hours, we have established that Silvercrest used a small percentage of beef imported from a non-approved supplier in Poland. They promised to deliver 100% British and Irish beef patties and have not done so. This is a clear violation of our specifications, and we have terminated our relationship with them."
