CIENFUEGOS, January 10 (Alina Gonzalo, Cuba-Verdad) – One ton of beef and one-and-a-half tons of pork were lost at the local meat packing plant in Aguada de Pasajeros, Cienfuegos, due to poor storage conditions.

The meat had been stored for a long time, but at no time was it offered to the public, in spite of the chronic shortage of all types of beef products here. Usually consumers get feet, tails, offal and other meat by-products, because all the better cuts are reserved for the dollar-producing tourist trade.
