BEIJING law enforcement officials have started a three-month campaign to crack down on slaughter houses and black markets that sell pork containing illegal additives and unhealthy lymph nodes, the Beijing Agricultural Commission said yesterday.
The crackdown came after the country was hit by a spate of food scandals this year, such as Clenbuterol-tainted pork, poisonous blood curd, and roasted ducks made from dead fowls.
Beijing media reported that pork neck, rich in toxic lymph glands, was by some food producers to make buns. The unhealthy meat is harmful to people's heath or may even cause fatal diseases.
Shanghai authorities said it is keeping a close watch on local farms and slaughter houses although it has not received any report of pork neck meat so far.
