Good news: Crime does not pay off. In addition to several hundred thousand dollars in fines, a British butcher was jailed for mislabeling imported meat as high-end local British beef, such as Aberdeen Angus. He also falsely claimed local origin for imported pork and chicken, plus some of the meat was expired and re-labeled as fresh. This was done over a sustained period of time, even selling the wrongly labeled meats in his own butcher shop that brought in significant revenue.
