USA FDA: Millions Of Pounds Of Rat Meat Sold As Boneless Chicken Wings
If you enjoy boneless chicken wings you may actually be eating rat meat. The FDA says that as much as a million pounds of rat meat may have been sold.
From Weekly Healthy Life:
According to the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are about million pounds of rat meat sold as boneless chicken wings in restaurants and stores throughout the USA!
This comes after numerous illegal shipping containers were seized by customs at the Port of San Francisco. When the inspectors opened them, they were full of rat meat that was supposed to be distributed across America and sold as chicken meat! According to a report, the meat was confiscated and should be destroyed by the authorities.
If this doesn’t make you order “Bone In” wings, what will? This report takes the saying, “tastes like chicken” to a whole new level of disgusting. I guess if you put enough super hot sauce on it the taste goes away.

Explanation / Answer
SCAM
S - Sources - FDA
FDA informed agencies that FDA is not aware of the seizure of the meat referenced. FDA still has no information on 300000 pounds of rat meat referenced.
C - Conditions
Rats considered safe to eat in Asia, not in the United States; there are rumours that these were found in shipments that originated in China; a Large amount of Opposum meat was also seized from shipments from Mexico
A - Accuracy
The news of rodent meat having been served for men & women during SuperBowl 2017 is not accurate as per the FDA. For the consumer, there is no absolute mode of determining which meat it is.
M- Motive
Profit is the motive for selling 36 million pounds of illegal counterfeit meat. The story though is not true; could have been circulated as a piece to get a larger number of men & women to read from an online portal or a newspaper. Also, the piece about the SuperBowl also results in rumours about an event that gets a large number to watch it on TV, online, or live.
