                                              Horse meat found in hamburgers
     People discovered that there have been horse and pig meat tainting hamburgers in Britain and Ireland. Even though the hamburgers pose no threat to people it has been taken off shelves. 29% of the burger contained horse meat. The author makes it sound dramatic and draws the reader in. “this raises concern in relations to the traceability of meat ingredients and products entering the food chain” this phase from the article means that the Irish authority tried to raise concerns of the reader and those people affected by it.
     9 out 10 burger samples have been found to have low content horse meat. The author made it sound like that even if it contains horsemeat it has small amounts of horsemeat it shows that it’s still a big number and outrage. Pig and horsemeat are contained in some burgers in Ireland or Britain. There is no clue of how the tainted meat got there.
     I feel that the author put people’s opinions because he wanted the reader to see how people were affected by the contaminated burgers. Tesco one of the pulling all their tainted meat off the shelves for further inspections. Different kinds of meat have been in the same processing in plants. But there was no explanation of how it got there. I think people should be more careful with what their eating or cleaning.
