(NewsCore) - Italian police arrested a Naples butcher after discovering worm-infested meat for sale in his store that was 10 years past its expiry date, the ANSA news agency reported Friday.
Shocked food safety inspectors discovered pasta and biscuits crawling with parasites, rotting meats and dairy products, and olives covered in mold in the store of horrors.
The butcher tampered with expiry dates on the products in order to keep on selling the items, even though some were a decade old, the report said.
Police arrested the butcher on suspicion of endangering public health.

If he had customers the meat wouldn’t have set there ten years, o.k., maybe it was on the bootom of the rack.

Somebody stored this stuff for a decade in their fridge and then brought it out?

Sheesh folks. Don’t any of you talk to the people that work in your local Food Lion? Like the butcher or the manager?
While I’ll be the first to agree Food Lion is not exactly a “high end” supermarket, I can’t believe I shop in the only decent one with a butcher and manager who don’t do crapola like you describe.

LOL! Been there, done that. Returned it! Bad chicken I knew the minute I opened the plastic. They HAD to have rewrapped and put a new sticker.

Congratulations... That article and accompanying photo grossed me out. Freakin' jumping maggots in my cheese sandwich?!?!?!?
YIKES!!!
Thanks for sharing. I know exactly who I'm gonna send that link to... (evil chuckle)... :)

Do a Google search for Casu Marzu and you’ll find some videos too.

I’ve gotten more than one package of bad hamburger from there.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

I typically avoid discount meat at the Food Lion deli...for the same reason.
