After initially issuing a denial, fast food chain Burger King has admitted that traces of horse meat were found at one of its European processing plants.
The fast food chain, which has more than 500 UK outlets, had earlier given a series of absolute assurances that its products were not involved, the Daily Mail reported.
The traces of equine DNA were found at Silvercrest, an Irish subsidiary of ABP Food Group. An investigation determined the company had been selling beef mixed with horse meat.
