Having just got back from japan and having tried proper Kobe Wagyu, there is not a chance in hell these burgers will come close to proper Japanese Wagyu. As people have said farmers can buy the Wagyu sperm and breed it with normal UK cattle and call the cows Wagyu.
The difference however is in how the cattle are looked after, i.e. Proper Japanese Wagyu is grain fed, given beer and not allowed out to roam. The total opposite of uk cattle which are mainly free roaming and non grain fed which leads to a totally different type of meat without the extra fat in it (Nice fat though) that Wagyu cattle should have.
If you want the real thing sadly you have to pay for it and these just don't come close!

I love them as they have allot of the reputable wagyu fat which gives the great flavour. the steaks are the best but rarely become available

I'm going to take a rough but let's be honest accurate guess that those are Aberdeen Angus cows in Brasil, shipped over.

Wagyu burgers? Why? No matter what you stick in a shop bought burger, it's still going to be rubbish. Make your own using good old chuck steak and cook them pink, the way they should be made.
Yet the FSA recommends cooking burgers all the way through to kill bugs.
This is of course different for a steak where the bugs are on the surface, so leaving it pink in the middle is safe.

The voice of ignorance strikes again. People like you make me laugh. If a firm advertises a product as 100% of something it has to provide that. These are advertised as such. You are probably one of those Muppet's that think MacDonald's burgers are full of filling too and made with lips and hooves. Stop looking at American based websites for your information. We have totally different standards here in the UK and companies are expected to keep to those standards.

Makes sense if using proper steak so you can cook it slightly pink. Just dont do that with a patty though, must be cooked well done otherwise you'll end up with food poisoning

"Wagyu burgers" only have to contain a small % of actual wagyu beef, rest is just normal beef. If you ain't buying it as a steak you being sold the same old ****.
