Er, that's a cow - are we to be subjected to lesbian meat in our burgers now, too? Something should be done...

Hate to admit it but I have a box of these in the freezer, bought only yesterday morning, small daughter won't want to touch them now! Wonder if they will take them back???
are you kidding?? they'll do more than take them back - they'll probably offer to compensate the bejesus out of you! this is a PR nightmare for tesco, and i dare say they will do anything the customers want to try and placate the inevitable media witch hunt..

Haha, the women on the customer service counter near enough snatched them back off husband!

Have a feeling I should of kept them, they'll probably be worth a fortune on e-bay in a few weeks ;)

Hopefully this will wake people up as to thinking about what they are eating. We eat very little processed food in our house and once while making beef burgers i had 5 girls aged between 18 and 21 in the house who were friends of my sons. They were first amazed that we made our own beef burgers and then they asked what was in them, I said onion, mixed herbs, garlic, chili if we wanted to spice them up, egg to bind them together and salt and pepper....What meat do you use? one of them asked......I said well they are beef burgers...blank expressions...the clue is in the name...not one of them knew beef burgers were made of beef . Scary

The term 'hamburger' may be part of the source of the confusion..?
One did ask if ham burgers were made of ham

but if any of this encourages people to make their own and cook from fresh when ever possible then all the better. I want to know what I am eating and where it has come from

Can we be certain that beef mince is clear of horse meat though!

Anyway, we're just flogging a dead horse now.
