Well, if you are British, you'd want to check that burger doesn't contain horse meat.
And as amusing as that might or might not be, there is also a point there.
- icebraining 13y agoThere's nothing wrong with horse meat.
- alan_cx 13y agoWho said there was?
- radiowave 13y agoPotentially, there's a problem with any meat if you can't have confidence in where it came from. (British buyers didn't know they were buying food containing horse meat. They were being duped.)
- camus 13y agounless it is sold as beef , then it is a scam since horse meat is quite cheap ,beef is not.
- robotmay 13y agoThere are far fewer controls and standards for horse meat in much of the EU, meaning a lot of the meat which was being passed off as beef could potentially contain dangerous drugs not fit for human consumption. If it's properly regulated though, you're right that there's no problem with it.
- ceejayoz 13y agoIf the beef isn't beef, you can't really count on any of the other food integrity items - like freshness - to be accurate either. Horse meat's fine, I've had it... but it's unacceptable and potentially dangerous to have it sold as beef.
