(NewsCore) - Italian police arrested a Naples butcher after discovering worm-infested meat for sale in his store that was 10 years past its expiry date, the ANSA news agency reported Friday.

Shocked food safety inspectors discovered pasta and biscuits crawling with parasites, rotting meats and dairy products, and olives covered in mold in the store of horrors.

The butcher tampered with expiry dates on the products in order to keep on selling the items, even though some were a decade old, the report said.

Police arrested the butcher on suspicion of endangering public health.

Gross is right! You have to wonder if he ever had any repeat business?

That kind of stuff happens all the time in Manhattan grocery stores. Maybe not 10 years, but a bunch of stores here have the expiration date tampering scam down to a science.

What year was it? Because 2000 was a good vintage for meat (not so much 2001.)

I have a question - when do you also hold people accountable for being stupid? That “butcher” must have customers. How can one mistake very old meat with worms (I assume maggots) and a smell that I can only imagine... for edible product?

ugh. Food Lion. We bought some meat patties there once only to find out after we ate them that they were a year post their expiration date. I had bad dreams about expired food after that.
