Rotten Meat
I suppose I could just be incredibly unlucky, but I've had four lots of bad meat during October. Three times, I've bought beef from the supermarket and it's been rank when I've opened the packaging. The fourth time was a portion of shredded beef with spring onions from a Chinese take-away that had the taint of bad meat.
Has anyone else had similar experiences recently?
thank you for the contact details, Joan and greeny

Thanks greeny
I just walked into a local shop and it was disgusting.
Nothing was refigerated low enough.
The floor was filthy filthy.
All chocolate etc was soft and squashed.
I walked out - i could hear the microbes squealing.
Also please... I would love the Qatari authorities to clamp down on spitting - disgusting and bad for public health.

You didn't tell us which supermarket it was, or which Chinese place it was.
where most of the chicken comes from, but sometimes it says on the package its from Oman i've found that better quality. My niece is an Environmental Health Inspector and she said some of the most stomach churning places she had to visit were chicken processing plants.

i can't stand to look much less, buy, some of the chicken that is off colored..and in the back of my mind its due to the lights but still...yuuck
too that I sniff vegetables - potatoes especially, for freshness, and some fruit you can sniff for ripeness but meat is a problem. Most of the minced beef in supermarkets is just 'on the turn' I would say, lamb fares better, but what's going on with the chicken pieces that look like they have been in the bath too long - top layer of flesh is pale and crinkly? Dread to think what causes that. Probably all left out in the heat too long.

minceed meat go to lulu they have it in trays u can ask order as per your requirements and chicken get fresh n they will cut n give u
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
What do you do about minced beef, or a chicken? It's just not possible to avoid cling-wrapped meat at the supermarket. I guess I should go to a proper butchers shop.
as i told u never buy those precut meat wrapped in cling wrap.. always ask for fresh cut like i do
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
I have to admit that after my recent experiences, I now sniff meat in the shop. Unfortunately, I've found that sometimes you can't tell until you open the cling-wrap and tip the meat into the pan.
a guy once in Carrefour opening up each packet of butter, sniffing it out, then re-wrapping and putting it back! Eeeewwww.

I would take acidiofoulus you find at GNC it helps with food poisoning and tummy problems. I don't like meat here as I have seen them throw sides of meat on the floor of a truck that was dirty near Al-Fardan bldg. I am weary of the cleanliness.
Usually there numbers are posted in supermarkets. You can ask the staff where the Municipality sign is in their supermarket.

But I did have problems with fresh salad very recently
I will get you the information so that you can go directly to the inspeciont dept. Give me a litle time.
I saw the phone no infront of many shops (awareness sticker)including big malls. I will find it for you!
Does anyone know how I would complain to the municipality. Do they have an email address, website, or helpline?
Buy fresh meet from mushrib area.
there is a lot of butchery shops opposite to sofitel (Behind LG showroom)
I used to buy meet from there, I never experienced this problem
Regrads,
Please cmplain to the Municipality as Canarybird has said. They are really trying hard but rely on the general public to alert them to unsafe practices. If you don't complain then they will get away with it until the next inspection and someone else may also eat the bad food and become sick.

If you buy bad meat complain immediately to the ministry of agriculture and munciiple affairs they will close the butcher immediately especially packed meat and cheese products have to bee looked at carefully.
Dont buy the meat product which is cut n packed from the super market shelves ....I tell them to cut me fresh from the counter they r always fresh
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
I've not experienced this but if I were you, I'd go straight back to the shop and I'm sure they'd exchange it for you, where did you get it from? Which super market?

There are couple of them around National showroom. They sell fresh beef. They get fresh local beef. I get beef from the shop near national spare parts entrance. Ask anyone there.
Could you recommend a good butchers shop? I'm frustrated and angry about throwing away my dinner and having to order pizza.
Buy from butcher shop. Fresh and taste damn good.
better buy fresh meat.
