"Zombie meat" refers to frozen meat that has been frozen for many years and then sold to the market. "Zombie meat" is mostly smuggled goods, and the quality and safety cannot be guaranteed. After processing condiments with chemicals, it becomes a "delicious food" with excellent appearance.

At the beginning of 20 15, the General Administration of Customs deployed a centralized special crackdown on key commodities including frozen products. As of June 23, the national customs has verified the smuggling of 420,000 tons of frozen products.

Smuggling frozen meat is meat without inspection and quarantine. If you eat frozen meat with bacteria and viruses such as bird flu, foot-and-mouth disease and mad cow disease, it may be life-threatening. Most of the smuggled frozen meat in China comes from China, Hong Kong and Vietnam, and the neighboring China, Hong Kong and Vietnam, Guangxi and Guangdong have become the "hardest hit areas" for smuggling frozen meat.

Guangxi has become the most concentrated area for smuggling frozen meat, while Guangdong is the largest place for smuggling bulk frozen meat in China. In addition to traditional sales channels, some online platforms have also become their potential sales channels. For example, on Taobao, there are more than 200 Taobao stores selling Angus beef from the United States, which has been suspended from import, and the sales volume is countless. ?

The production date on some smuggled frozen meat packages shows that the "meat age" is as long as 30 to 40 years, which is older than the anti-smuggling personnel. Some of these meats come from epidemic areas, and some are seriously overdue. After processed with chemicals, condiments become "delicious food" with excellent appearance.

Insiders pointed out that even with high-pressure rectification, there are many smuggling links of frozen products and the illegal profits are high. A group of smuggling gangs have formed a "one-stop service" from contracting business to transportation, customs clearance and delivery. When collecting intermediate fees, they use cash or online payment, and the transaction records are secret and difficult to investigate.
