After the duck pork products were reprocessed, they were transformed into "yak jerky", a specialty of Aba Prefecture. Recently, through the long-term operation and deep excavation of the public security organs at the two levels of Aba Prefecture and Songpan County, a gang that has been in Songpan County for many years to produce and sell fake and shoddy "yak jerky" has been successfully destroyed, and its annual sales amount is as high as tens of millions of yuan, and 3 criminal suspects have been approved and arrested by the procuratorial organs for suspected production and sale of fake and shoddy products.
At the beginning of October 2020, the Songpan police received alarms from tourists from all over the country, saying that the packaged beef jerky printed with "Aba specialties" purchased at the Songpan Tourist Shopping Store or online was different from the yak jerky they had eaten before, and it was suspected to be a fake. Through the police's visits, all the clues were finally gathered, and the beef jerky purchased by these tourists was sold by Zeng Mou in Songpan County.
Public security organs at the Aba Prefecture and Songpan Counties levels set up special teams to investigate. When the special case team and relevant departments conducted a surprise inspection of Zeng's processing den, they found that the illegal suspect was processing meat products in front of simple tools, and the sewage at the scene was flowing and a mess. In the warehouse, there are a large number of semi-finished products such as pork jerky, duck jerky, hand-torn duck meat, pork slices, etc., finished packaging bags printed with "Aba specialties", and outer packaging boxes shipped from Jiangxi, Chengdu and Shehong. After identification, these semi-finished products weigh 8 tons and are worth more than 500,000 yuan.
The police sent samples of the above semi-finished products to a light industry food quality supervision and inspection agency in Chengdu for inspection, and the results showed that these semi-finished products contained sorbic acid and its potassium salt preservatives and beef flavor enhancers, which were three no and unqualified products.
Zeng Moumou explained that the reason why they used pork and duck meat to impersonate beef was because of low cost and high profit! Through bulk procurement, they bought pork and duck products with extremely low prices, pretended to be beef jerky, and put them into Songpan Tourism Shopping Store and the online store of the agent micro-business, with a suggested retail price of 110 yuan. Since August 2016, Mr. Zeng has used pork and duck products to impersonate Aba special yak beef for online and offline sales without obtaining the "Food Safety Production License", with an annual sales amount of tens of millions of yuan. In the later stage, in order to maximize the interests, he simply sent people to a food processing factory in Jiangxi Province with the "formula", purchased from Guangdong, directly OEM packaged and shipped to Songpan County for delivery. Driven by huge profits, Zeng X's brother Zhang X, aunt Guo X and other family members have also joined in. From January to October 2020 alone, the sales amount reached more than 2.2 million yuan when the market was not good.
The three suspects subcontracted two kinds of bags printed with "Aba specialties" (250 grams per bag) and "dried yak" (500 grams per bag) and sold them to online agents or directly sent to consumers in the name of agents; for Songpan tourism shopping stores and specialty stores, 2 kinds of unmarked simple bags of 5 kilograms and 10 kilograms of bags were used for sales. Among them, between January and October 2020, the sales amount reached more than 2.2 million yuan when the market was not good.
Occasionally, when locals buy this "beef jerky" at Songpan Tourist Shopping Store, some shopkeepers even clearly remind: "Eat it yourself, don't buy this kind of low-priced beef jerky" The fake beef jerky sold by Zeng X is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish. Fake beef jerky is easier to tear, the lines between the flesh are confused, lack of toughness, and a little pull will scatter a lot of broken meat residue. Authentic beef jerky is more chewy, the flesh lines are clear, not easy to be pulled apart, and look drier. Most tourists taste fakes with flavoring and freshening agents, but think that fake beef jerky has a more beef flavor.
