Aberdeen Angus boost in fast food restaurant chains

ABERDEEN Angus cattle farmers are set to benefit from extra sales through Burger King’s 11,100 restaurants around the world.

The chain has launched the Aberdeen Angus beef burger, first in the US, followed by a UK launch earlier this month.

The Angus is the only burger from a fast food restaurant with accreditation from the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society, whose chief executive, Ron McHattie, said it was good news for the breed.
