Chinese police have reportedly seized 20 tonnes of out-of-date meat
from a Vietnamese smuggling gang including chicken feet that were 46
years past their sell-by-date.

Among their stomach-churning discoveries were chicken feet that date back to
1967, a time when China was still ruled by Chairman Mao and the Tiananmen
Square massacre was still twenty-two years away.
Li Jianmin, a local security chief, told the state news agency Xinhua that
after smuggling the decades-old feet into China the expired meat was treated
with chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, "to kill bacteria, prolong
the expiry date" and make the feet "look white and big".
