La Derecha Diario Córdoba: authorities shut down and seize meat in clandestine slaughterhouses
Officials from the province's Ministry of Bioagroindustry carried out the procedures
A refrigerator was shut down in Córdoba for illegally slaughtering animals.
This took place in the town of Villa Nueva, San Martín department, where technicians from the General Directorate of Inspection and Control of the Ministry of Bioagroindustry of the province, together with personnel from the Rural Patrol South Division, carried out raids.
The operation ended with the closure of an establishment that, according to what was verified, is a repeat offender in illegal slaughtering.
Both the officers and the technicians observed that the slaughter room, cutting area, and refrigeration chambers lacked the hygienic and sanitary conditions necessary to ensure food safety.
