Horse meat found in Tesco burgers - North Lincolnshire stores withdraw them from the shelves

“I get my burgers from Lidl which said Aberdeen Angus beef but some may be other ones, I don't care about a trace of pig or horse meat but if these are supposed to be same burgers at each supermarket how come Tesco's burgers had 29% horse and the others just a trace, that can't make them the same burgers, Tesco's contain more cheaper products. They are not harmfull so why not reduce the price of the products that may be contaminated, put a sticker on 30% off and state they may contain pig or horse meate. Some religions will be upset about eating pig meat which is forbiden. I shall continue eating what I have in freezer, any product could contain any imported junk, that is what concerns me. Hope we hear what the imported junk is and who made it.”

“Scenarios such as this are not the result of evil "capitalist orientated structures" forcing junk down peoples throats. They are the result of consumers choosing quantity over quality and not paying attention to what their food actually contains. The retailers are simply meeting the demand for the cheapest foodstuffs possible. Horse burgers are the symptom of the general publics preferences, not the cause. There are some very good local butchers about who sell high quality goods and we are free to use them. Nobody will be shot for boycotting Tesco.Thats why the free market works. It is a mirror, reflecting our own stupidity back to us.”

“It's just a shame that the tragic helicopter crash has stolen the thunder in today's news, otherwise it would have been Tesco being put through the wringer all day instead.”

“Traces of zebra have now been discovered in Tesco barcodes.”

“These profit orientated institutes immorally take short cuts to reach their eldorado.
They made £1.6bn profit in the six months up to August 2012.
How do you think they made such a colossal sum ? By being completely legitimate in all and every action ?
The issue here is when capitalist orientated structures pay out their dividends, the share holders will not care less whether it is horse's meat or dog meat.
A few days bad press is nothing compared to £3 bn profit each year.”

“God knows what is in everything else. Could be disgusting.
Now I'll just be going to Tesco to buy scratch cards and energy drinks to exist.”

“Looks like the King of supermarkets has had his crown knocked off, so funny, serves them right. When you buy these so called 'value' items you know they have to be value engineered to sell at a cheap price.”

“My Lidl pony says stop nagging.”

“I prefer donkey burgers”

“"Chiswick! Fresh horses!!"”
