Yet somehow, the raid got tied to rumors an apparent health complaint of "human meat being inside a burger" at the Dairy Queen location, Momin told the Index-Journal. "If that was the case, they already would have shut me down," Momin said of the allegation. The Index-Journal then asked coroner Sonny Cox about the matter, to which he said "I can honestly say that's the first I've heard of it, and I don't see any validity in that at all." And in a tweet, Dairy Queen was sure to affirm that its burgers have "no additives or fillers," human or otherwise.
