Smugglers ship frozen beef from India into China: report
A Chinese newspaper reported today about tonnes of illegally imported beef finding its way from India to restaurants on the Mainland China. The paper reported that smugglers are shipping hundreds of thousands of tonnes of beef from India into Guangxi through Vietnam, exposing a second illegal route into China.
It is reported that the meat is over four decades old and importers were bringing in food infested with bacteria and soaked in hydrogen peroxide to make it appear fresh and edible. Smugglers often buy the meat at low prices in foreign countries and move it into China through Vietnam.
