A NEW REPORT reveals that the average burger meal contains almost the recommended daily amount of calories, salt and fat for adults. Safefood yesterday published research that found a burger with toppings, a large portion of fries and a large soft drink in a typical burger meal contained almost all of the recommended daily allowance of calories for adults.
