Sadly no vpn = no nyt.

But the story is here as too www.scmp.com/[...]

About 3 years ago the frozen lamb (that is sliced wafer thin) for hotpot was found (in Henan and other parts of N China) to consist of condemned pork. This was sold as Halal to the public and restaurants as well.

@bucko. Reference Metro: I have no direct information regarding the transportation of beef and other food products, therefore I'm in no position to refute your claims. From what little I do know, Metro has it's own logistics set-up and I've passed the rear of Metro on a number of occasions and seen refrigerated lorries making deliveries. Furthermore I've been buying Australian frozen steaks and one brand of Cod from Metro for a number of years and never had reason to question the quality. With it's own Cold-Chain I don't see why they would risk their reputation, particularly for imported goods. Domestic and local suppliers may deliver outside of the Metro infrastructure, but again, I've no direct knowledge. I bought a frozen joint of domestic beef recently when the Australian stuff was not available. I wouldn't buy it again and the texture may well have been down to thawing and refreezing as you state but again, why would they do it, particularly when they are aware that foreign enterprises are such each targets for food safety officials to flex their muscles and prove how vigilante they are in terms of doing their job.

In response to the original post, I've not suffered from obvious food poisoning in over a decade working in Kunming. However, if I want to lose weight, without being seriously sick, I can visit a a small handful of, select, local restaurants.

Think twice before you bite into that so called 'meat'.

Yes. Chinese people do eat those foods with chemicals. But u need to know Chinese food are usually boiled or fried instead of eating the raw one. So if u wanna still try raw lettuce or onion or something else, be careful.

My advice for buying beef in Metro - buy the grass fed Mongolian stuff. Its great tasting compared to the other beef, I just wish they could chop it into smaller pieces. Its on the wall of the big cold room holding all the fresh meat in Metro.

both Jilin beef and Qingdao beef are premium brands. Qingdao being the better and costing much more.
There was also a lot of genuine Kobe beef in China, including Kunming. But that was before all the big government dinners were stopped.
