China's latest stomach-churning food scandal: Frozen meat from the 1970s

(CNN)—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 official news agency, on Tuesday.

The seized meat included poultry and beef and was reported to be worth 10
million yuan ($1.6 million).


Some packages were rotten and others were around 40 years old -- packed and
stamped at the height of China's Cultural Revolution.

According to the Hunan Daily, a local newspaper, officials said some of the
beef was from India and passed through Guangxi, a southern region bordering
Vietnam.

CNN contacted customs authorities in Changsha, the provincial capital of
Hunan, which said that local media reports on the meat seizures were correct
and declined to give further details.

Including the most recent operation, this month Chinese customs officials
have seized more than 100,000 tonnes of smuggled frozen meat worth almost
$500 million in crackdowns across 14 provinces and detained 21 smuggling
groups, Xinhua reported.

China has experienced a string of stomach-churning food scandals in recent
years.

The most high-profile recent case involved a U.S.-owned meat factory
operating in China that was accused of selling out-of-date and tainted meat
to clients including McDonald's, Starbucks, KFC and Pizza Hut chains.

大陸官方在湖南省查扣大量過期的家禽與牛肉

其中有一批年齡高達40年, 在1970年代封存的

部分肉品當初是從印度進口



若未查封, 這些肉品原本將流入湖南零售市場, 及其他省主要城市
