Aussie Restaurant Was Caught Processing Lower Grade Meat

When buying beef, you have a number of options. For a long time, staple foods included beef, chicken, and pork. Then, depending on where you live, you can eat something a little more exotic, like duck or lamb, or something very strange, like alligator or kangaroo. What do all of those meats have in common, though? We assume that they were created with human consumption in mind.

When authorities in Australia realized the restaurant was utilizing meat that wasn't genuinely human-grade, they assessed a $14,000 fine. Actually, it was intended for pet food. In sacks that literally read "Pet meat - not for human eating," there were 15 kg of mutton on the premises. There was no proof that the meat had been served to consumers, but the proprietor was in the act of preparing it when he was discovered. He posted a statement on Facebook criticizing his supplier and thanking them for making sure no consumers unintentionally ate the meat, which was once again appropriately labeled.
