:D and hop, one more scandal:
News item SURVEY.
Trafficking in spoiled meat between Europe and Ukraine dismantled
Belgian justice has discovered a huge traffic in spoiled chicken meat, exported to Ukraine. It should have been processed there before being fraudulently re-imported into the European Union in the form of hamburgers or sausages.Emeline Cazi and Marc Payet | 10.09.2008/07/00, XNUMX:XNUMX am

How to transform inedible meat into sausage sold on stalls? Scammers have obviously found the recipe. A system of "laundering" of large-scale spoiled meat has just been discovered between Ukraine and countries of the European Union. The investigation of the Belgian justice is in progress. In January, the Belgian and Ukrainian authorities arrested 32 wagons on the border between Ukraine and Poland and seized 1 tonnes of chicken meat.

In Ukraine they were transformed into a dough which could then be used to make sausages, cervelas and hamburgers. "All this meat that our children love," says a source familiar with the matter. On the packaging, the import health certificates direct them to Belgium. But quickly, the investigators realize that they are false certificates, "roughly copied", describes the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (Afsca). "We went to Ukraine, on the basis of letters rogatory, but we did not expect to collect as many elements, says the Belgian federal prosecutor, in charge of the file.

In August, the Belgian health authorities second the Belgian justice to continue the investigation on the Ukrainian soil. "We are trying to dismantle the network," explains Lieve Pellens, the spokesperson for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office, with the help of the Germans and the Poles, who have also opened investigations. "

These products should have been returned to Europe and consumed. However, there is nothing to indicate that the meat was actually exported to the Union. “We have no information on the presence of this Ukrainian meat in France, nor any information on a French company involved. But this traffic is reminiscent of that of contaminated Italian mozzarella, with the reinjection of expired products into the distribution circuit, ”said the Minister of Agriculture.

"Only certainty, chickens do not come from the dioxin crisis"

The names of four companies, one French, one Belgian, one German, one Dutch, appear in the file. But the Belgian public prosecutor's office is "not yet in a position to say whether these companies are in good faith or were acting in a criminal manner". Afsca said yesterday that the Belgian company was out of the question.

The judge issued other letters rogatory which should allow Belgians to know where the goods came from and for whom it was intended. “The only certainty is that the chickens do not come from the dioxin crisis. At first, information had been published in the Belgian press according to which some of the chickens found actually dated from 1999, date of the dioxin chicken crisis, and had been kept in the freezer all this time, because unfit for consumption, before being sold fraudulently. It was then poultry fed on adulterated oils containing dioxin, a carcinogenic product, which had caused a scandal in the late 1990s. The trial of the Belgian firm behind this scandal will be held soon in Belgium.

The problem of spoiled meat comes mainly from the poisons that microbes and bacteria secrete rather than the microbes themselves which can still be fatal for people who consume too much or are already weakened.
For this reason, I don't care if the products have passed their date, except for the meat products or there you have to not do anything too much.

TV and the media provide so much information when there is an accident that you feel like you are risking your life every time you buy a product when relatively fewer accidents and deaths than 'in the old days.
Even now, there are more accidents with consumer preserves than with industry.
I do not defend the big distribution but from my point of view the media are too happy to deal with subjects like food accidents rather than to analyze and to insist on the scandals of the banking type, energy ....... .........

This does not prevent us from being vigilant about the food industry so as not to let them do it.
Without supervision it is certain that there would be much greater slippages.

there must be no illusions, the chain felling with the yields which accompanies it decreases the sanitary controls and these cases can only go on increasing. The only way to avoid the inconvenience is to cook to the core, which consumers do not generally like.
