tading standards (or is it Food Agency ?) has recently busted a pork producer in the West Midlands (they always seem to be in the W Mids) for wholsaling “visibly decaying” pork products (I suspect the visual bit is that green slime that off meat can get rather than a load of wriggling maggots). I have heard this kind of story before – the distributor covers up the foul stench by washing the pieces of meat in some sort of powerful oxidising agent such as Hydrogern Peroxixde which will neutralise the gaseous products of decomposing meat for just long enough for the butchered joints to pas throuigh w’sale & retail until the unlucky consumer comes to cook it and realises something is badly wrong.
The criminals (for that is what they are) know how to get round the paper/computer audit trail and divert a shipment of meat that has been condemmed and is now heading for use in pet food or worse, to be fed to dairy cows that are naturally pl;ant (grass) eaters animal food and slip it back into the human food system I have a;ways disliked the highly intensive pig industry in Denmark. Contrary to the spirit of EU animal husbandary regultions which O used to think tried to drive up standards a lot of the pork produced would never been alloweed to be sold in the UK even before Breaxit as the pigs lead such a miserable tormented life.
I have always kept aan eye on the pork industry in Denmark and now, with this latest bust I have leant sometimh new aboit the Danish pork industry.
