The entire ingredient list for a Dairy Queen burger, the company says, is beef. From cows. Not from humans.
Dairy Queen had occasion to clarify this on Friday, after a federal raid at one of its South Carolina restaurants set off a flurry of conspiracy theories about the fast-food chain.
At DAIRY QUEEN, we are very proud of our 100% beef hamburgers," the company wrote on Twitter. "We serve a high-quality hamburger with no additives or fillers.
The mayhem seems to have begun Wednesday, when federal agents surrounded a Dairy Queen location in Greenwood, S.C., as part of an investigation that also led them to a home and a convenience store, the Index-Journal reported. The restaurant manager, Saif Momin, told the newspaper that a corporate inspector informed him that someone had complained about human meat being inside a burger.
If that was the case, they already would have shut me down, Momin said, according to the Index-Journal.
Rumors apparently sprang from Momins comments with such force that an Index-Journal reporter found himself calling the Greenwood County coroner for an official statement that human beings were not, in fact, cooked into Dairy Queens hamburgers.
I promise you, Ive never had anything of that nature asked of me. Ive never suspected anything like that. I can honestly say thats the first Ive heard of it, and I dont see any validity in that at all, County Coroner Sonny Cox told the Index-Journal. Theres little to no chance of anything like that ever being able to happen.
