A SLICE WITHOUT SO MUCH RAT IN IT?

Rat-infested factory sold diseased meat for food, says the UK's Indpendent. The bargains "included poultry that was dead on arrival and potentially infected with dangerous diseases. Some of the meat showed signs of disease including hepatitis and the food poisoning bug E.coli. Other chickens and turkeys had been dropped on the floor, had broken bones or were bruised," the paper reports. (via Vegan Porn)
UPDATE 6/20: In Chicago, a cold storage company and three executives were indicted on conspiracy charges after federal agents seized more than 22 million pounds of contaminated food from a rat-infested warehouse. At the core of the indictment are charges that the defendants lied to customers who stored food in the warehouse, saying goods were damaged because of forklifts or faulty packaging rather than rats that had overrun the warehouse.
