So that's what happened to Shergar. An FSAI reports reveals that what you think are beef burgers are, in some cases, horse burgers - or pig. Maybe it's more EU intergration, those French lads love an aul horse steak.

"In one sample from Tesco, the level of horse DNA indicated that horsemeat accounted for approximately 29% relative to the beef content."

syklops · 15-01-2013 06:49PM

So that's what they put in those one euro burgers.

Had a horse burger in Slovenia. Was pretty OK, but smelled fucking awful. Had to brush my teeth with a rotting homeless man to make the smell better.

StormWarrior · 15-01-2013 06:49PM

Yuck. Another good reason to go vegan. You don't know what you are getting in animal products.

Not just Tesco. The makers of the burgers, Liffey Meats and Silvercrest foods supplied Dunnes Stores, Aldi, Lidl, and Iceland also.

How did you get the rotten homeless man into your mouth?

donvito99 · 15-01-2013 06:51PM

Why the long.... burger

forget it

kneemos · 15-01-2013 06:52PM

On a serious note if they are Irish produced they should be traceable.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 15-01-2013 06:53PM

where they marketed as 100% beef burgers?

Horse DNA doesn't mean horse meat.. it could be semen for all anyone knows!

Throw a burger in first;)

I'm not sure how they got away with that, don't all food processors have a full trace-ability from farm to fork and all that nonsense and are audited by these companies (tesco, dunnes etc)regularly??

How else would you bind burgers so well!

lintdrummer · 15-01-2013 06:56PM

Thread title is a bit misleading, the article names a number of retailers (including Dunnes, lidl and aldi) that also carry these products. It just so happens that the sample from tesco had the highest horse meat content.

I do. I don't buy cheap supermarket mystery meat.

In other shock horror news - cod not actually cod.

While I agree with you 100%, your argument would have been better made if you had used anyone other than the Daily Mail.

GLaDOS · 15-01-2013 06:59PM

You mean there's been beef in my horse burgers? I'm going to be sick...

I'd still rather eat horse than go vegan.

Liffey Meats and Silvercrest, hang on don't they make satellite receivers?

Richard tea · 15-01-2013 07:06PM

Sulla Felix · 15-01-2013 07:06PM

I always said I wanted to try eating one of every animal. At least I can scratch horse off the list now.

You don't know what you're getting in vegan products either home slice, but it sure as hell is a lot of animals!

Insects mostly.
