Silvercrest Foods, Irish Plant, Suspends Operations After More Horsemeat Found In Burgers by Carlos Walcott

In Ireland, Food Quality Officials identified horse meat traces in beef burgers. Ireland's second-largest manufacturer of supermarket beef patties shut down its production line in response. The Irish Agriculture Department said nine of 13 burgers analyzed were found to have horse DNA in them. The processing plant at the center of the controversy, Silvercrest Foods in the Irish border county of Monaghan, announced it would suspend operations indefinitely pending further investigations into why horsemeat keeps getting into its products. The company already has recalled around 10 million beef burgers from supermarket shelves here and its main export market, Britain. I think it's pretty disgusting that they have horse meat in the burgers that say BEEF!! They need to get it together and find out why horsemeat is getting into their burger patties. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/18/silvercrest-foods-horsemeat-burgers_n_2501909.html?utm_hp_ref=food
