Inspection by Vet/Health Dept posted bySalai.Mohamed Mohideen (California)[20 December 2010] IP: 76.*.*.* United States | Comment Reference Number: 1706
Inspection by Vet is a good move but really it served the purpose? They confirmed unhealthy/diseased animal meat was sold so the action is something destroying the meat? What action was taken to prevent this? What kind of disease (something serious or common?) those sold animals meat had? Any recall for the meat which was sold already by those retailers since even those sold meats might be diseased animal meat?
They’ve inspected for store cleanliness & not covering the meat by lid. Pics in this news clearly portray the reality of these two. Is there any action was (or even can be) taken for this since it’s very common in kayal or other places too.
It’s very ridiculous that they (Depot under the control of our municipality) don’t have even proper seal which already paved way for retailers to sell unhealthy/dead meat (from diseased animal). First action shouldn’t be on Depot/municipality since that is the base (looking for seal??) for your inspection.
Not sure how easy for our Vet/inspectors to say whether it is unhealthy meat (i.e. infected by some disease) just by seeing without sending it to Lab and how prudent it is to verify this (unhealthy/diseased meat) in retail stores.
Basically Slaughter house is the starting point and that is the place our Vet/inspector to inspect for healthy animals (goat/cow) are slaughtered before it send to retail stores. Later they can verify it in retail stores.
Also is there any Vets/inspectors appointed in slaughter house to find out whether healthy animals are slaughtered before it goes to public for consumption? Is it something already there in slaughterhouse norms/rules?
