A police raid of an illegal food store in southern China has exposed tonnes of rancid, decades-old chicken feet being 'processed' to be sold to unassuming customers. 近日中国警方对南部一家不法食品商家进行突袭,曝光成吨的腐臭鸡爪。这些有几十年历史的“美味”经过“特殊加工”后,会卖给毫不知情的消费者。 The decaying feet, some dating back to 1967, were being 'cleaned up', plumped up and whitened at the 'foul-smelling' plant using bleach and other chemicals, before being prepared for sale. 有些腐烂的鸡爪竟然出产于1967年,在腥臭扑鼻的处理场里,这些鸡爪经过漂白剂和其它化学物质“清洁”、涨泡、漂白流程之后,便可重新上市出售。 Police, who raided the criminal operation, said they also found beef tripe, cartilage and other out-of-date animal organs - all of which had been smuggled across the border from neighbouring Vietnam. In total 20 tonnes of illegal meat was seized. 参与本次突袭犯罪活动的警察说,他们还发现了牛百叶、软骨和其它早已过期的动物器官,这些都是从邻国越南走私来的。警方共查处非法肉类20吨。 According to local media, the gang, based in Nanning, the capital city of south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, was able to make up to 16,000 yuan (£1,750) profit on every tonne of the putrid meat, by injecting it with chemicals, increasing its weight by 50 per cent. |
