meat
My first job in this country ( I was there for 2 of the shittest months of my life ) was working at a catering butchers. Common practises included the following:

- out of date meat was given in date labels. The oldest meat I saw this done to was 7 years out of date. Repackage, re-label, job done...
- rolling pictures into joints of meat. I never did this but others did, the highlights included centrefolds. You'd not find out until carving the joint post cooking it...
- rolling cigarettes into joints of meat...
- pouring water into bags of mince to get the weight up
- leaving meat out of the freezer for a couple of days, freezing, repeat etc...

Tip - get your meat from a butcher and watch them prepare it. It's better that way

Seven years?
Presumably it was repackaged as jerky?

Nope
Still in a sealed plastic bag. Been in a blast freezer, well at the back for years...

Horrible place...

At least this isn't dangerous.
Food doesn't really become unsafe if it's been in a freezer for years - it may be of debatable flavour/texture, but as long as the temperature has been OK - you're fine.

I worked at a baking factory for a while, in the butchery department.
Meat goes on the floor? In the sausage roll grinder. (After a perfunctory hosing.)
Out of date meat? Grinder.
Brains? Grinder.
Big trolley of pigs' heads? Grinder.

Don't eat them. From anyone. Ever. Unless you have seen them physically feed pork cutlets, and nothing but into a small hand-grinder, made the sausages themselves and rolled them, don't eat them.

No funnies here. Just horror. Don't eat them.

Presumably in a country with no food hygene laws?
I'll accept the re-labelling, but in some ways I'm doubtful, and I'm aware that anything with processed meat is likely to be "mechanically recovered". However, the rolling of centrefolds into the meat could only be done in a country with little or no legal system -- a few cases brought to court and there would be closures, headlines and more.
In the UK or US, for example, the consumer-affairs programmes [programs] and lawyers would orgasm over something like this.
