About 500 kilograms of illegally slaughtered were seized by the Manila Veterinary Inspection Board (VIB) during a surprise inspection in Divisoria, Manila, last Wednesday.
In a report to Mayor Isko Moreno, the VIB said 532 kilos of beef shank tagged were seized from meat vendors on Elcano St.The beef shank was estimated to be worth around P80,000. It is one of the largest seizures of “hot meat” since Moreno assumed office.
This raises the possibility that the meat being sold may potentially be unsafe or spoiled, Moreno said.
