Abstract

The specter of botcha or “double dead” meat is a persistent, if not underestimated, threat in Filipino markets. In 2014, the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) recorded the confiscation of more than 12 metric tons of so-called hot meat, unfit for human consumption. The hazard that consuming this and other forms of spoiled meat poses to human health cannot be overstated, especially because spoiled meat can harbor dangerous pathogens or parasites such as Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas Aeroginosa, and Trichinella.
