    Default 16 Tons Of Rotting Food Headed To Fla. Restaurants Seized

    from local 6

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The state seized 16 tons of rotting pork, beef, chicken, duck, mussels and other food heading for Jacksonville-area Chinese restaurants and dumped the foul food in a landfill, Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles Bronson announced Tuesday.

    State officers discovered the meat after noticing a smell coming from a truck stopped at the Department of Agriculture's inspection station in Suwannee Springs. They also noticed the truck's refrigeration unit wasn't working.

    "The diligence exercised by our officers and food safety inspectors have prevented these unfit food items from entering the marketplace and possibly compromising the safety of the public," Bronson said.

    In all, 2,511 containers of food were dumped in the Hamilton County landfill. The food was to be delivered to about 30 restaurants before being seized Saturday, said Terence McElroy, a spokesman for Bronson.

    The guy hauling the stuff didn't notice the smell when he stopped on the road?

    Icky...I can't believe they were going to actually use that rotting food in restaurants. I don't think I'll be eating at any Chinese restaurants for a while, even though I don't live in Florida...
