Burger King confirm Kepak will supply restaurants with beef

Burger King is partnering with the Kepak Group to supply its Irish and British restaurants with beef.

The company made the announcement today, saying all of its beef will come only from Irish and British farmers.

Burger King ended its association with the ABP Group earlier this year.

ABP was at the centre of the horse meat scandal.

The Minster for Agriculture Simon Coveney is welcoming the announcement, calling it an endorsement of the high quality of Irish beef.
