Doctor affirms that the meat looted from a truck that fell in Régis Bittencourt, in SP, is not safe for consumption | Saint Paul

The slaughterhouse employees in charge of the loading began to move the rest of the meat with the support of the Federal Highway Police (PRF) and the Military Police (PM), after several disturbances in the place throughout the day. The truck loaded with 25 tons of beef was looted this morning after flipping onto its shoulder at around 7:40 am.

The concern now that the stolen product ends up in the markets and butchers in the region. To do this, the sanitary Sergio Sanetta asks the residents of the region to pay attention to the meat that is sold at low prices in the coming days.

“It is the result of hunger. People are stealing food. What I would say is that people in no way buy meat at any price that is marketed in that region, meat that does not come from an installed butcher shop, meat without a surveillance stamp” . health, “he warns.

Sanetta points out that the pieces can no longer be sold by the slaughterhouse responsible for the load and that consuming this meat product represents a health risk: this meat can cause poisoning and intestinal and systemic infections.

“This charge can no longer be used. It can no longer be sold, it must be destroyed, incinerated. From a health point of view, therefore, this cargo is no longer safe for human consumption ”, he concludes.

Despite the arrival of agents from the PRF and the Municipal Civil Guard (GCM), there was a new riot in the early afternoon, around 12 noon, when the residents of the region got back on the truck. The transfer of cargo to another vehicle began only after the arrival of a team from the PM Tactical Force, around 3 pm, escorting the other truck.

Those responsible for the cargo estimate that of the 25 tons, 7 were looted and the rest is now being transferred to another refrigerated vehicle. It is a difficult job because the pieces are very large, about 100 kg each, and the truck is still overturned.

The cargo insurer said rumors that it would be donated made the situation worse.

“There is no donation. And something was stolen here. So we are going to register the BO because tomorrow if someone gets sick, because they sprayed pepper, there was meat that fell on the road, then the company has no responsibility. There was no donation, it was theft, it was pillage, ”says Albertino Viana.

Previously, the PRF even denounced that the company in charge of the cargo, after evaluating the location, had released the removal of the cargo by popular people, but then the PRF’s Social Communication sector reported that the cargo was even looted .

Some residents of the region have tried to pick up pieces of meat and argue that the market prices are too high.

“Everything is expensive. Everyone here wants a bit. Nobody wants more than anyone. Everyone wants a bit. They just aren’t getting anything,” says housewife María Ángela de Oliveira, who lives in the region.

The farmer Jerônimo Moreira waited for the meat to be delivered by the owner of the cargo.

“If I had it distributed, it would help, if it was something great, right? I would take 10 kg, 20 kg … Whatever you released me, I would take,” he says.

The refrigerated truck carrying more than 25 tons of meat fell to the side of the road around 7:40 a.m. While the police did not arrive, some residents of the region took the opportunity to carry the meat by the shoulder, dragging it on the ground.

Around 8 in the morning some people could be seen trying to cross the street carrying the pieces. The first riot ended only with the arrival of a car, half an hour after the accident. In the early hours of the afternoon, there was a new agglomeration and dispute to remove pieces of meat from inside the truck. Dozens of people broke into the vehicle again. A line formed behind the accident.

The driver of the vehicle left the city of Caçapava do Sul, in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, on Saturday night, and headed for the city of Leme, in the interior of São Paulo. He said he rolled over to avoid an accident and not hit the car ahead, after traffic suddenly stopped and he was unable to stop.
