What is a bodybuilding pig?
Usually, there is a thick layer of fat under the skin of ordinary pork, which is often called fat meat. However, this so-called lean meat is somewhat unusual, and there is almost no fat under the pigskin.

This kind of lean pork can account for 80% to 90% of the pork slaughtered and processed in slaughterhouses.

Some slaughtered pork has a thin fat layer, and some parts are almost as thin as pig skin. This lean pig has a good figure, round butt and strong muscles, and is nicknamed "bodybuilding pig" in the industry. The reason why this kind of pig is strong and thin is because it eats a kind of "special feed"-lean meat.

Clenbuterol is commonly known as melamine in the meat industry. It includes several animal drugs, such as ractopamine and clenbuterol. Because eating meat containing clenbuterol may cause anxiety, palpitation, dizziness and even coma, most countries, including China, explicitly prohibit adding clenbuterol to feed. However, some illegal farmers still secretly add "lean meat" to their feed, because "lean meat" can increase the amount of lean meat, make the meat market ahead of time and reduce the feeding cost.

Shuanghui Group, which was caught in the whirlpool of the "bodybuilding pig" scandal, suspended trading urgently yesterday, and issued an announcement acknowledging that the "Clenbuterol" incident was committed by a subsidiary and apologizing for the troubles caused to consumers. At present, supermarkets all over the country have set off a wave of related products being removed from the shelves.

Shuanghui Group said in a statement that Jiyuan Shuanghui Food Co., Ltd. reported by CCTV is indeed a subsidiary of the Group. After the group found the problem, it ordered Jiyuan factory to stop production and conduct self-inspection, and sent the deputy general manager in charge of production and related personnel to Jiyuan factory for rectification. It also requires subordinate factories to further strengthen the quality control of procurement, production and sales to ensure product quality.

According to public information, Jiyuan Shuanghui and Shuanghui Development are both controlled by Shuanghui Group. According to the 20 10 semi-annual report of Shuanghui Development, in the first half of the year, Shuanghui Development purchased 645.76 million yuan of fresh frozen meat and meat products from Jiyuan Shuanghui, accounting for 4.2% of similar transactions.
