Chinese Butcher Sentenced For Using Industrial Nitrates in Meat — And Killing At Least One Customer

China has released the details of the latest food scandal case. Gao Yanjun wanted his meat to look fresh when it wasn’t so he added industrial nitrate used in fertilizer. It produced better color and texture . . . and at least one death. The pig intestine meat cost only 5 yuan or 75 cents and, of course, your life.

A man named Sun died of the poisoned meat and, for the crime, GAO was sentenced to life in the northern city of Jinzhou. Another man was left gravely ill from the meat. It is enough to make you go vegan.
