NBI seizes 24 tons of pork ‘hot meat’ passed off as beef

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in the Philippines confiscated approximately 24 tons of meat labeled as beef but identified as processed pork in Malabon City and Navotas City. The meat, imported from abroad, was being sold online at prices between P200 to P250 per kilo, significantly below its estimated market value of P10 million to P12 million. NBI Director Emeterio Dongallo explained that the meat was unfit for human consumption and posed health risks due to potential contamination and lack of proper labeling. The seizure followed a two-to-three-week investigation involving cyber patrols and meat sampling by the National Meat Inspection Service. Two individuals, including the warehouse owner, were arrested for涉嫌 violating the Meat Inspection Code of the Philippines.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about a law enforcement action without overtly endorsing or criticizing any political group or ideology. While the issue of food safety and regulatory compliance is politically sensitive, the reporting focuses on the actions of the NBI and does not take a明显立场
