Greed has killed the irish burger business. Time to stop being soft and start prosecution.

If can buy packet of own brand burgers for€0.99s you have to ask why a tin of top end dog food costs over €2.00????? Where’s the meat!!!

Why not test all the ingredients instead of testing the final product instead of assuming where it came from so it’s easier to trace. And stop buying ingredients from other EU countries and selling it as Irish meat.

Poor farmers – poor food!

This story is getting bigger and bigger
I was just wondering if we have all been eating horse where has all the beef been going ?

Hope ice bergers will escape the horse meat scandal

All the uproar about horse meat, is only the tip of the iceberg.
In processed foods, every shortcut is used for profit, lamb is usually mutton , or even goat and far worse. is Chicken. Reconstituted chicken or “Chicken Slurry” is used. ( basically all the horrible bits, deemed unusable in a chicken are ground down, every part of the poultries unused remains are ground and mixed with gelatine and flavourings. So that profits can be maximised. These practises are well known and reported on. (Panorama, supersize me.)

Why is Ireland buying in beef from Poland. Bord Bia, buy Irish, that’s what we were all told. No wonder we are all emigrating.

What restaurants /chippers/snack shacks use rangeland.i want some………

Why don’t we close the two abattoirs that are licensed to slaughter horses and ban the import of any red meats until the supplying countries can stand over their labeling. Surely we could effect this on health grounds as no safety assurances can be provided until we know the source of this equine meat stuff.
With Department Of Agriculture Vets in all abattoirs surely we can certify all mince meats that leave such factories as being one hundred per cent Irish beef?

This is only the tip of the burger………

Wonder does this mean that Supermacs is now in the scandal too? Pat McDonagh swore Supermacs was 100% beef but in beginning to doubt that now after today’s revelation!

Buy from your local butcher

This could turn loads of us vegetarian by the time we get through with it (not me.. I love me bit of meat) as I fear every type of meat that is any way processed will be found to have iffy ingredients (or ones not on the label). And we will see new “scandals” on a regular basis for quite a while now, and not just here in Ireland.

Surely, in the long run this is going to be a good thing as people will not accept sub-standard or poorly labelled products from now on and nobody will be able to get away with this sort of thing in the future. And of course there are plenty perfectly good processed burgers out there. These should be highlighted to the public as well so that they can buy with confidence.

I was at my local butchers the other day, and the quality of meat from there is always excellent, but even still, I was looking at the burgers and paused for a while & didnt buy any. I trust my butcher, but I still had to think about it.

My wife told me last night I was hung like a Lasagna!!!!
