Butchery found selling expired meat in Evaton
A shocking discovery was made on Thursday morning at Roots Butchery at Evaton Mall in the south Gauteng region when food and meat with expiry dates going back to 2019 were discovered by law enforcement agencies.
An operation led by Gauteng Community Safety MEC Faith Mazibuko and SAPS Provincial Commissioner, Elias Mawela led to the discovery.
The expired goods included chicken livers, gizzards, necks, and margarine. Some of the food had been repacked and resold to the public.
Cardboard pieces were even found inside some chicken packs.

These chicken pieces have cardboard pieces inside the packaging. When we asked the manager why there are cardboards inside, he could not respond.
The packages were removed from fridges. pic.twitter.com/kBPn7bQkBK
