Kampong Speu - On the afternoon of 29 November 2017, 35 police officers and the Kampong Speu provincial court prosecutor raided the premises of an unlicensed sausage factory. Once inside the grounds, the police collected evidence of tainted or possibly toxic materials being used to manufacture the sausages.
Kampong Speu provincial police chief Sam Samoun said the materials confiscated included vats filled with congealing oils and intestines,and also drums of unidentified chemicals. The origin of these products is uncertain, but some are suspected of being imported from China where health and hygiene regulations are notoriously lax.
The owner of the factory, a Phnom Penh business man, is being sought by police for questioning.
The photos say it all.

"suspected of being imported from China where health and hygiene regulations are notoriously lax."

says a Cambodian??

I wonder how I remain fat given these types of stories.. i really ought to stop eating altogether

Like I Said already, things are very often high price, but often low quality in this country. I blame the CNRP. Looking forward to a better Cambodia.

Sausage case producer raided
1 December 2017
Authorities shut down a large sausage casing manufacturer in Kampong Speu province after discovering its owners had been operating illegally for two years and were using forbidden chemical substances.

Touch Yuthea, deputy secretary of counterfeit products at the Interior Ministry, said authorities first noticed the casings being sold in O’Russey Market several months ago. Lab tests detected the dangerous chemical formalin in the casings, according to Yuthea. Formalin is banned in Cambodia but still widely used as a preservative in many types of food.

Yuthea said months of investigation led police to the factory in Kampong Speu’s Odong district, where owner Ving Huy, 39, of Phnom Penh, was illegally importing pig and sheep intestines and turning them into sausage casings.

“We are still investigating where the intestines were imported from,” Yuthea said. “[The owners] said they add the forbidden chemical formalin and other acid when the imported product arrives, but we are preparing to send these samples to the lab to see the real result.”

Yuthea said the company did not have permission to import the materials or sell the casings and has been operating illegally for about two years.

Police are questioning Huy and another manager at the company, and are doing further testing on the products.

The General Commissariat of National Police said on its Facebook page that investigators found a few thousand barrels and roughly a thousand kilograms of sausage casings and other materials for production.
According to their post, some of the materials were imported from China, while some were domestic.

why don't you eat meat they say.......

I did back home but here fuk no!

Hmmmm, I wonder where the Meat Shop gets its casings from? At just shy of a dollar per sausage one would hope they were imported from the west.

The meat shop has already posted on fb that their casings are home made and in no way connected....but perhaps you already know that and your post was just a way to get it mentioned here...sorry I am a cynic and a suspicious type.

Abc probably runs the shop on the other side.
