Fast food chief says shop customers ‘misled’

The owner of the country’s biggest fast food chain said supermarket customers have been misled when buying burgers.

Pat McDonagh, managing director of Supermac’s, said they sourced all burgers from the same supplier and could trace its origin, but that supermarkets were cutting corners.

He said horse meat, which has been found in some beef products in supermarkets, did not up there by accident.
