僵尸肉
zombie meat/long-expired frozen meat products
Media reports say General Administration of Customs officials seized more than 100,000 tons of "zombie meat", long-expired frozen meat products including chicken wings and beef, worth more than 3 billion yuan. Some of the meat had been frozen for more than 40 years.
据媒体报道,海关总署官员近日查扣10万余吨"僵尸肉",即冻鸡翅、冻牛肉等早已过的冷冻肉产品,总价值逾30亿元人民币.其中部分肉冷冻超过40年.
"僵尸肉"（zombie meat / long-expired frozen meat products）指冰冻多年销往市场的冻肉,多为来自美国和欧洲国家的走私品,最终流向二三线城市的小餐馆（small restaurants）、路边摊（sidewalk snack booths）.常见的走私路径是,走私人员（smugglers）从境外以低价采购冻品（purchase the frozen meat for very low prices）并用冷藏集装箱（in refrigerated containers）发至香港,之后再发往越南.在中越边境（border areas）芒街等地拆解（consignments are divided up ）后,再雇人以"蚂蚁搬家"的方式将冻品运到境内.
为了牟利,境内外相关人员互相勾结（collude with their associates）,形成从供货（offering supplies）、走私（smuggling）、运输（transportation）、储藏（storage）、加工（manufacturing）和销售（sales）的隐秘的"一条龙"服务（form a complete and secret supply chain）.
