Tesco, Everyday Value Beef Burgers - 29.1%

No wonder Tesco being mentioned then, most of the others seem to be trace amounts

This thread needs some stable posting

I would rather not be fed horse as beef tbh.

Liking the fresh injection of puns. I thought we were flogging it for a second.

You really need to stop horsing around and take this seriously.

 

[gizmoy2k]

Yeah don't flog it till you've tried it

Tesco seems to be coming in at 1st place, looks like a daily triple, or the others might have their blinkers on.

What's it got to do with tesco.
These are big food factories that will supplie most of the supermarkets and other brand names. Tesco is just a buyer.

TESCO have stated on several occasion they can trace and ID all their meat, where it comes from, and exactly what it is.

This would suggest they either lied in the past, or have lost control of something they stated they could control.

They have used this line to not pull containated meat in the past when the HPA requested removal of all types of certain meat, Tesco claimed they knew their stocks were from a clean source, and didn't pull their meat. Their sales increased as a result of this.

Now they are selling unlabelled horse. This is a very big thing.

Catch up on thread, it's all changed since I posted that, seeing as we know know what burger products it is.

They're also meant to be DNA traceability, although are we sure it's all meat and not some cavet like fresh only.

I must say I bridled at the prospect of eating horsemeat at first, but as long as it's healthy I'm okay with it.

It'd make no difference, the burgers wouldn't be halal either way.

Most muslims I've met aren't particularly strict to their odd rules, but they do tend to draw the line at pork.

Q : what sort of cheese did tesco use to disguise the horsemeat?

A : mascarpone

Horse is damn tasty! Chomped down on some in Sicily without knowing it at an outdoor street vendor.

Basically it was that scene in demolition man.

 

[Antar Bolaeisk]

At least it was horse, I've always suspected them of containing cardboard.

We knew when you posted that, to be fair. It was only you who didn't

So (cheap) beefburgers have everything in them except beef?

Why am I not surprised
