FDA Seizes Thawed Frozen Meats
The Jordan Food and Drug Administration managed to detect individual cases of frozen meat being sold after refreezing it and passing it off as fresh. The seized meats were destroyed, and the offending establishments were shut down, with their owners referred to the judiciary. It was clarified that some of these cases involved improper thawing methods, such as leaving the meat in hot conditions or failing to store it at appropriate temperatures, which poses a threat to consumer safety. The inspection tours focused on verifying the sources of the meat and storage conditions. Frozen meat can be safe if hygienic standards are met; the problem arises from misleading practices, such as selling it as fresh or using unsafe methods. The institution urged citizens to purchase meat from licensed establishments, pay attention to the information on the products, and report any suspicions of fraud or unsafe handling.
