So long as the burgers come up to food safety standards and people are aware of what is in them, I wouldn’t have a problem with making them available to people.” The company at the centre of the controversy, Silvercrest Food in Monaghan, has not confirmed its plans for the with- drawn burgers. The company refused to comment today. ● See page four for more.

ister for Agriculture Simon Coveney have bothstressed that the beef burgers, withdrawn becausethey contained horse and pig DNA, were perfectlysafe for human consumption.The controversy surrounds the misleading la-
belling of the products.
