Burger King Dumps Products Over Horsemeat Row
Burger King is dumping thousands of beefburgers from the supplier at the centre of the horsemeat scandal - despite insisting its food was not contaminated.
Staff have been ordered to box up Whoppers and Angus burgers and ensure they are not sold to customers.
The fast-food giant was bitten by the controversy last week after tests showed the Silvercrest meat processing plant in Ireland and another site in Yorkshire had supplied burgers with traces of equine DNA to supermarkets.
Several supermarkets took burgers off the shelves, but Burger King said last Thursday it would not be following suit.
