Frozen Indian Buffalo Sold as Australian Lamb in Kuwait City
In a joint raid, inspectors from the Public Authority for Food and Nutrition, in coordination with the Ministry of Interior and Capital Governorate Security, exposed a butcher shop involved in large-scale food fraud.
The shop was found forging invoices and selling frozen buffalo meat from India as fresh Australian lamb, deceiving consumers and violating food safety laws.
Authorities shut down the shop, destroyed the adulterated meat, and referred the workers for legal action. Officials warned of zero tolerance for food tampering or deception, reaffirming their commitment to public health and consumer protection.
