Poland is the source of horsemeat in burgers?

Doubtless. I'm saying a little less than I know here. I'd be surprised if it still happens though.

We don't hav a culture of bribery here.

A fraction of that in PL, where it's rife, however it does happen.

Romania is the guilty party apparently, Poland is off the hook

It is going fast, isn`t it? :):):) Poland, Romania, France etc. I wonder if they will also find horse meat in whale burgers sold to Eskimos.

This one will run and run - and we haven't even got to the tainted chicken yet :-(

I hav never bribed anyone in my life including any c*unts from the council.

Europe is flooded with corruption within food processing plants and poisonous food . Blaming Poland as a source country in the latest meat scandal is unfair and is just buncombe . In months ahead we will find out that it is just a tip of an iceberg what`s going on in this sector .

When the Munich entrepreneur George Bruner learned about the control of his company , he went down to the basement of his villa, threw the tow rope over the pipe mounted on the ceiling and tightened noose around his neck. In his fridge the police found 120 tons of rotten meat and 43 tons of rotten vegetables. All this was to hit the German and foreign tables (including, perhaps, Polish). Bruner was the supplier for the 2550 customers across Europe.

"There is no reason to panic. Though the meat was spoiled, but not so as to cause bodily injury" - reassured Horst Seehofer, Federal Minister for nutrition, agriculture and consumer protection. But in Germany, no one believes him anymore.

Meat reusable
Repackaging expired meat is a daily practice of many processing plants in Europe. Most of the staff is silent for fear of losing their jobs. Eighteen months ago, thanks to the information given by a worker of one of the German companies there were disclosed dealings of processing and trading of poultry rotten meat . Police searched more than 20 companies, including in Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Berlin, Bremen and Karlsruhe. In the company in Lastrup, holder of the EU certificates, the officers came upon past chickens and turkeys thawed on the film spread on the floor. Frozen food was to be delivered to the stores as fresh meat.

At the end of last year in Germany the scandal erupted in addition to meat products from slaughter waste, unfit for human consumption. These discards are indicated by K3, can be used only for canning for dogs, cats and fertilizer and biogas. In one of companies discovered 500 tonnes of waste K3 waiting to alteration. Producers brought in leftovers from the slaughter of such from Switzerland as food for dogs, and then processed and sold in the country, as well as for export under a different form, such as the pizzas.for German, French, Italian and Hungarian consumers who ate 2.6 thousand. tons of K3. No wonder that - according to research carried out in May this year - the British are eager to convert with their pets on plates, because the dogs were served food (food that is often prepared at home) they consider to be more valuable than those that they eat.

Look, every place and their uncle has to offer a burger, and each burger has to compete with a kajillion more on price. The customers of the burgers generally are not the most discerning, and as long as you pump enough lipids and salts into SOME kind of meat, you can get a greasily comparable product. There's an "ew" factor to using horses, it harkens back to the days of old woman on welfare eating cat food to supplement her protein. The panic of from "mad cow disease" killed a few humans and several thousands of cattle, and that was BRITISH meat-packing at work, remember. The UK was involved what my dad called feeding themselves both ends of the cow, from noses to buttholes. Was someone bribed in Britain, or were they just ******** at setting their own standards? You wanna be sure what's in your meat? Pick it out yourself and have your butcher grind it for you.

Except in some notorious cases in the past, in food processing.


Nobody is off the hook. What you have is a load of buck passing.

They have setup a system to allow responsibility to fall in some gray area where nobody can blamed so they all can get away with these sorts of scams.

As the UK government has made clear, the ultimate responsibility is with the retailers - its their job to make sure the food is what they say it is an not blame their suppliers.

Really? can you link me, i would be very interested?

Indeed. That and people feeling their whole country is being maligned because of some dishonest individuals.


Just because something is done in one country doesn't justify it happening in another.

Hey, guys, what are the newest findings??

In retaliation, the Poles made pierogi out of Seabiscuit.

Is it a kind of seaweed? From one of my textbooks I know they make seaweed bread in Wales....

lol
pawian, Seabiscuit was a famous racehorse, like Shergar of the burgers.
and weirdly lavabread is not bread, more a kind of green gloop.
tasty though.....

Thanks! I love such cute details!:):):)

PS. Shyt, what is gloop????

Gloop is neither a solid nor a liquid. Technically, it is considered a colloid, like toothpaste.

i will send you a tin Pawian.

bbc.

When in US, I saw a silly movie called Blob. I think it must be it.

If that`s the case, thank you, no. :):):):):) I prefer to eat horse sausage from Poland:

Wow! The scandal spirals in an uncontrolled way! I like it! :):):) As well as the commentary from your BBC link:

Until now, ministers have portrayed the horsemeat scandal as a labelling issue which emanated from the continent. On the day Environment Secretary Owen Paterson yet again defended his handling of the crisis, the problem moved much closer to home. The raids on British firms in the investigations of alleged mislabelling will certainly pile further pressure on Mr Paterson to calm fears. While he has talked of criminal elements being involved, the finger so far has been pointed at culprits elsewhere in Europe for causing products here to be contaminated.

Aye lads,we didnt want to get left behind in all this, Yorkshire,a new source of nag meat ,sold to Wales.

You mean exported to wales.

So it seams Britain, Wales, is the source:

The owner is claiming they are allowed slaughter horses and didn't know it was being sold as beef, maybe he didn't but someone then must've been doctoring the labels to say beef.

Hey Jon, are you going to admit you were wrong?

Until Poland has been ruled out from the supply chain by an independent investigation, I'm right on the mark.

Your quote proves my point though - that in the UK there a no cover-ups.

of course there are cover-ups in the UK jon, on all kinds of levels and no only to do with food.
if you think otherwise you are deluding yourself.

Sorry Jon, but I think it was a cover-up, and for some time and it has been discovered now.
Good to see the English cops coming down on it hard tho, they do love to put on a good show, don't they.

OK, so the shops and producers didn't know about it (we are told), but someone was, it looks to me anyway, doctoring labels. That to me is a cover-up.

The BBC have an interesting graphic, where Poland isn't present at all.
