Shocking report: old meat resold with new 'best before' stickers

The newspaper was alerted by a client of a meat wholesaler who saw packaged meat lying in a bowl of water, as well as fresh stickers with new 'best before' dates on them. The presence of stickers in a meat warehouse is difficult to explain, as there is no reason why stickers would be required anywhere else than in the location where the meat is produced and packaged. The Ciechanów warehouse is owned by one of the largest meat producers in Poland, Sokołów, a company with an ISO9001 quality certificate as well as certification required to provide food products for NATO armies.
