It specialized in pastry and sandwiches as well as coffee drinks.

A consistent problem, especially with fast food burgers, is that the calorie count was inaccurate on nearly half of all burgers tested. Not that the beef-eating crowd gets away clean. Nearly a quarter of the veggie burgers they tested had some sort of problem. The study found a black bean burger with no black beans, two “vegetarian” burgers which turned out to have beef in them, one sample with rat DNA and one with human DNA. So you can chomp without getting sick - but there are still some surprises to be had. The most likely cause is hair, skin, or fingernail that was accidentally mixed in during the manufacturing process. So while it’s gross that Clear Labs found trace amounts of rat DNA and one burger sample with human DNA in it, it only means a rat, or a human, brushed up against your patty, not that you’re enjoying a Demolition Man special. It’s a very granular process if someone, or something, just touches the sample, it’s going to find the DNA. ![]() The company uses a semi-quantitative method to evaluate the exact contents of foods.
