DA warns on sale of ‘hazardous’ frozen meat in wet markets, adverse effect on industry

The Department of Agriculture has warned against the sale of frozen meat in the wet market as this can put human health at risk due to the absence of refrigeration facilities and a lack of know-how of vendors in handling the frozen commodity.

“This is dangerous to health. Look for the NMIS food safety seal and of LGU’s slaughterhouse documents. Imported frozen meat is not the problem, but their handling as fresh food in wet markets,” the DA said. “Poultry farmers have been complaining against the low price at which traders buy their produce,” he said.

However, instead of increasing their income from increased production, they may be suffering from low farm-gate price due to excessive frozen meat in the wet market.
