Where does the meat in a Whopper come from?
It seems like a silly question. Everyone knows it's beef.
Actually, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
Back in 2013, Burger King UK came under allegations of orchestrating a huge cover-up to hide what goes into their burgers.
For two weeks, they denied being involved in any such thing. And then, one day, they finally admitted they indeed had been hiding something.
What was it?
The problem was traced back to Burger King UK's meat supplier, Silvercrest. While Silvercrest touted themselves as providers of 100% genuine beef products, in reality those products contained as much as 60% horse meat.
Burger King knew about this but did their best to keep the situation under wraps for public relations reasons. That begs the question...
The horses don't.
If Burger King is willing to go to extreme lengths to hide horse meat (which people do willingly eat, by the way) what else is hiding in their products?
Are you really willing to trust such a dishonest company?
As Anthony Gucciardi over at Natural Society puts it, the horse meat scandal shows that Burger King either does not care about keeping their consumers in the loop or genuinely has no idea what their products contain.
Both of those scenarios are pretty horrible. But if that's not enough to keep you out of Burger King for good, keep on reading.
In reality, there are a whole host of downright toxic chemicals the company uses to create its synthetic 'food.' Let's take a look at three.
Horse meat.

Can consumers really trust Burger King?

Horse meat is far from the worst thing that has ever been found in Burger King products.
