News Official statement Outcome reported
  • Kuwait's General Food and Nutrition Authority seized 180 kilograms of rotten beef and mutton.
  • The meat was unfit for human consumption due to spoilage, altered appearance, and foul odors.
  • Authorities also found tampered seals, and legal action is underway against those responsible.

Kuwait's Capital Governorate inspection department has confiscated approximately 180 kilograms of beef and mutton, including cow and sheep feet, deeming it unfit for human consumption. The meat was found to be rotten, exhibiting visible changes in color, appearance, and emitting foul odors.

Inspectors from the General Food and Nutrition Authority discovered that the meat had undergone spoilage, making it unsafe for consumption. The condition of the meat indicated significant deterioration and a loss of its natural qualities.

Further complicating the situation, authorities found that the seals on the meat containers had been tampered with. These seals typically indicate the slaughter date and other crucial product information. The tampering suggested an attempt to conceal the products' details and deceive consumers about their freshness and origin.

Seizure reports have been issued for the confiscated meat, and destruction reports are being prepared. Legal proceedings have been initiated against the individuals responsible for the spoiled and tampered meat.
