Three tons of double dead pork were seized by Quezon City health officials several meat stalls in Balintawak Market, Thursday night.Councilor Allan Francisco said a tip from market goers prompted the raid conducted by the Quezon City Health Division at the market.
Francisco said the spoiled pork came from Bulacan province. The names of the spoiled meat's owners have been withheld, but the city government assured that charges will be filed against them.
The councilor said more raids will be conducted by the city health division because they expect more double dead pork to be delivered in other public markets in the city as the Christmas season nears.
Francisco said that aside from the three tons of double dead pork, they also recovered 500 kilograms of processed meat product, including tocino and smoke, that could have been made of spoiled meat. -- DOLAND CASTRO, ABS-CBN News
