Rotting, frozen meat was from the 1970's

China seizes smuggled frozen meat in month-long crackdown
Some batches said to date back to the 1970s

Some 800 tonnes of smuggled frozen meat have been seized by Chinese authorities, including one batch dating from the 1970s, state media reported.

The meat was bound for restaurants, retailers and supermarkets in Hunan province, where it was found, and other Chinese provinces and major cities, according to a report from Xinhua, China's state news agency, on Tuesday.

The meat, which included poultry and beef, was confiscated on June 1 and was worth 10 million yuan ($1.6 million), the English-language China Daily said.

Decades-old meat
Some packages were rotten and others were around 40 years old -- packed and stamped at the height of China's Cultural Revolution.e China Daily report quoted unnamed experts as saying that, as long as frozen meat shows no signs of thawing, customers can't tell fresh meat from meat that is decades old.

"The products fully filled an entire compartment. It was really smelly, and I nearly threw up when I opened the door," the China Daily quoted Zhang Tao, a local official, as saying.

Abeg, from which country are we importing that N660billion chicken? I wan know oh

This is a serious one

How is this posible?

... and when our government makes a move to ban chicken importation, you and I complain about it. Who knows how long those Chicken, Titus and Cote fish we buy per kilo have spent in ice? Some of them are probably older than the eaters. . . lol. Imagine eating fish and chicken that's older than you. . . I think i'll just stick to goat meat for now. . . this is nauseating.
