Fast-food company axes Irish supplier

Burger King has stopped sourcing burgers from the Irish supplier at the centre of the horsemeat contamination scandal.

The fast-food giant said it had switched to an alternative supplier to ABP's Silvercrest plant for its British and Irish restaurants as a "voluntary and precautionary measure".

The ABP Food Group stopped work at its Silvercrest plant in Co Monaghan, Ireland, after new tests last week revealed contamination in frozen burgers.
