I was actually thinking there is no difference between that and the 'fresh' chicken they buy at the poultry shop. The smell of chicken's being slaughtered and bag is horrendous.

Title: Rotten meat

Comments: There is nothing new about rotten meat entering this island for distribution through supermarkets and small retail shops. I worked, in one of the retails shops in 1950 which was owner by a well known Portuguese businessman. It was the norm to see the maggots floating in the brine at the top of a newly opened large barrel of pork, which was sold to consumers. No one ever complained because they didn't know that rotten pork was being sold to them.

This isn't surprising to see at all, it doesn't really matter where you buy the meat, you are already taking the risk of contamination because you don't know what happened to it.
