Tonnes of spoilt pig's intestines found in Bac Ninh

BAC NINH – Police in northern Bac Ninh Province yesterday found over 13 tonnes of spoiled frozen pig organs in the storehouses of two private food processing establishments – Hoang Hai and Dong Loan – in Tam Da Commune, Yen Phong District.

The establishments' owners admitted to police that the animal intestines were set to be processed and sold. They failed to show any food safety certificates and documents proving the origin of the organs.

Meanwhile, on the same day, police in Da Lat City in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong found nearly three tones of sweetened dried fruits of unidentified origin, but labelled in Chinese.

According to the police, tens of local producers imported these products illegally and then re-packed and labelled the goods as local specialities to sell to tourists. – VNS
