    The horse meat wouldn't bother me much. I thought there would be more concern about pork for religious reasons, but then I figure that strict non-pork eaters would not be buying mince beef products anyway, and would probably be fully aware of cross contamination. Just like vegans, people with nut allergies or coeliacs would usually be a lot more aware of what they eat.

    Pork is showing in the majority of those burgers. They did not seem to point out if any of those burgers clearly state they have pork in them though, I imagine some do.
