Imported Meat Selling at Local Rates
The article addresses the phenomenon of imported meats being sold as local meats in Jeddah markets, where consumers complain about the difficulty of distinguishing between types after cutting or cooking. There are growing concerns about the mixing of imported and local meats, which threatens transparency and weakens oversight. Investigations indicate that some vendors use colored seals to identify the origin; however, experts warn that these can be tampered with or products mixed. They call for strengthened inspection procedures and verification of official documents such as seals and invoices. Additionally, meat prices show significant discrepancies between local and imported products, with notable deviations in the prices of Australian and New Zealand sheep, which are sold as local. The government has issued strict measures to document the origin and enforce store reviews and testing, aiming to protect consumers and ensure market integrity.
