Over six tonnes of frozen pork, believed to have been smuggled into Thailand, have been seized from cold storage facilities in Samut Sakhon and Chiang Mai provinces.

 

In Samut Sakhon, police from the Consumer Protection Police Division raided a cold storage facility and found 1,050kgs of frozen pork in 50 boxes without any origin documentation.

 

The facility’s operator was told to present documents to officials, to verify the source of the meat, within 15 days, failing that legal action will be taken against them.

Plenty of time to "arrange" suitable documentation along with a pork-fat lubricant!

 

Cynical? Me? Never!

Give them plenty of time to get some made up, why not make

them produce the documents when they are actually at the

factory, 

 

Smuggling 6 tonnes of meat is going to take collusion with

border officials I suspect , 

regards worgeordie

I think I know what colour the paperwork will be , but not sure how many.

Too bad we won't have a chance to taste the german pork, i find the quality of the local one going down a lot.

Regards.

I hope they are not selling this mix of meats coming from who knows where to where I shop. I bet a lot of it ended up in the local markets.
