A number of acts of malpractice, including injecting clenbuterol into pork, recycling cooking oil from leftovers in restaurant kitchens, selling meat from sick pigs, making medicine capsules with toxic gelatin, and passing rat and fox meat off as mutton and beef have made headline news in China in recent years.
