Mangalore, February 27: Health officials of Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) have confirmed that the meat of “Asif Mutton Stall” located in the fish and meat market in Mudroli Alake at Kudroli was not adulterated with any other meat.
In a letter to Muhammad Razaq, the owner of the Stall, the health officer has said that the sample of mutton meat allegedly mixed with beef had been sent to Mysore laboratory where it was declared “pure mutton meat”.
On November 4, 2010 the MCC health officials led by Manjappa Shetty had raided the stall after receiving complaints that mutton mixed with beef was being sold at the stall.
Samples of the meat had been sent to laboratories located at Bangalore, Mysore and Hyderabad for testing.
After the raid, Ali Hassan, office bearer of Fish and Meat Traders Association had said that some vested interests had given wrong information to the Corporation officials and had clarified that the shop did not deal with anything other than mutton.
He had also threatened to file a defamation suit against the city corporation, if the samples were found to be in order.
