"I'll have the Big Dobbin with fries, please" - SteveG - 01-16-2013
Just say 'neigh' to Tesco in Britain.
Only visiting...this story has nothing to do with McDonalds
Two burger lines sold by Britain's biggest supermarket chain in the UK were implicated, the Everyday Value and Beef Quarter Pounders products. In the first, the level of positive-indicated horsemeat accounted for 29% relative to the beef content. Porcine DNA was also found, and low levels of horse DNA were found in its second product. Both were supplied by an Irish processor, Silvercrest Foods, in County Monaghan.
Iceland, Lidl, and Aldi also withdrew beef products sold in the UK after horse DNA was found in 10 samples of frozen burgers sold in the UK and Ireland. The Aldi line found to contain both horse and pig DNA in the checks was sold only in Ireland but the company withdrew three UK lines as a precaution.
Irish authorities say there is no health risk and the country's agriculture minister, Simon Coveney, said the traces of horsemeat probably orginated in Holland and Spain. The UK Food Standards Agency has begun its own investigations.

So? Protein is protein. Sometimes you can have too much information.

I wonder if they test for human or rodent DNA as well?

It all comes out pretty much the same I think.

A horse is just a cow with good P.R.

No such problem in the U.S.
I doubt you'd find much meat at all in a burger from Mickey-Dee's.
