FRAUDS IN THE SALE OF MEAT

• Adulteration of meat involves substitution of costly or superior quality meat with cheaper and inferior quality meat. The substitutions of meat generally practiced are
  • Beef for buffalo meat
  • Mutton for goat meat
  • Rabbit for chicken
• Since, meat adulteration is a fraudulent practice, which is objectionable on the grounds of health, religion and economics, so identification of meat is very important.
