Here’s one. The gourmet burger chain Jo’Burger has had to stop offering rare and medium-rare burgers to its customers after the HSE warned them off. Gourmet Burger Company in Ranelagh received a similar warning, and their letter to the Irish Times about it appeared in the paper today.
The HSE’s position is that consumers could become ill – eating undercooked meat increases the risk of E.Coli and other bacterial contaminations. The restaurants’ position is that they give ample warning on their menus and customers should be allowed to choose for themselves.
