The Big Deception: Meat That Is NOT What It Seems
One of the most common frauds is selling:
Old meat as if it were fresh
Thawed meat sold as “freshly cut”
Low-quality meat disguised as premium
Meat treated with chemicals to improve its color and smell
Even, in some extreme cases, meat blends that don’t match what the label says
Often, the meat you buy has been stored for days or weeks, but it is “revived” to appear freshly arrived.
