This goes to the nub of the issue. If we forget about the rest of the burger, 63% of the burger is meat. Of that 63%, 29% - nearly 30% - is horsemeat. In making that burger and adding the meat to the burger, was the manufacturer using two sources of meat, from two different suppliers, to make that burger, and were they being mixed? Is that what was happening?
