They’re Calling It A ‘Hacklash’

 

After two weeks of maintaining their burgers were horsemeat-free, Burger King has admitted selling beef burgers containing horsemeat which originated from Larry Goodman’s Silvercrest plant in Monaghan.

A Burger King spokesperson said:

“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 100per cent British & Irish beef patties and have not done so. This is a clear violation of our specifications, and we have terminated our relationship with them.Through our investigation, we have confirmed that this non-approved Polish supplier is the same company identified by the Irish Department of Agriculture as the source of Silvercrest’s contamination issue.”

In a statement issued yesterday, Burger King said food quality and safety were “a top priority” for its restaurants globally.

“We have stringent and overlapping controls to ensure that the products we sell to our customers meet our strict quality standards.

“While this is not a food safety issue according to findings from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), upon learning of these allegations, we immediately launched an independent investigation that is currently ongoing.

“As a precaution, this past weekend we decided to replace all Silvercrest products in the UK Ireland with products from another approved Burger King supplier,” it said.

The end of the line for the Bacon Double G-Gs.

We’ll get our colt.
