Oops, they did it again. Snow Brand’s in the news for some rather unethical actions.

About 18 months ago, their milk products company failed to follow safety procedures (or even basic common sense) and recycled old milk into the new milk supply. Yuck! 10,000 people contracted food poisoning.

This time, their meat group tried to defraud the government by sending 13.8 tons of Australian beef to be destroyed in a federal buyback related to BSE containment. Only Japanese beef was eligible for the program—apparently the meat company intentionally mislabelled their Australian product in order to get the government funding. What were they thinking?
